Default Transmission issues for engine swap..

Okay, so I'm wanting to swap my 5.3 into my lt1 firebird eventually. What problems am I looking at to get the 5.3 to mate to the t56? I know I will need an ls1 bellhousing and input shaft. What about the clutch/slave cylinder assembly? I'm trying to build up a list of parts i need for the swap.

If your t56 is made for an lt1 your going to need an ls1 mid plate and an ls1 input shaft once you have this just use a standard ls1 clutch type assembly

hmm, thats what i thought.. I wonder if it would be better to convert my lt1 t56 or to just sell it and buy one for an ls1?
