Default swapping 93 Camaro to LS1 style front end ???

I have a 93 Camaro I am building up as a 275 Dr car and I am have a terrible time swapping every thing over to the later model front end components. Nothing lines up so far. I have every thing from the front of an 02 camaro from the radiator support forward and the fenders. I am beginning to think the radiator support on an LT1 car is different then that of an LS1 car. I am also going to be using a VFN sunoco hood. First off I think this car has been hit in the front which could be some of the problem but the original stuff lined up pretty good considering the passenger fender was shimmed over 1/2 inch at the front to improve the gap with the hood. I also have had to drill new holes and move the upper bumper support all the way back against the radiator support to close up the gap at the front of the hood and now the lights dont line worth a dam. Is this common for this swap? Any help here is appreciated.

post some pics of what you have issues with.

There was a guide floating around some place.
