Not that much different, I would suggest finding a set of 1LE rear control arms, that helps and keeps everything stock apearing. Also replace your soft rubber torque arm bushing and sway bar bushings with poly items. other than that not much else to do and keep the OEM parts.

since you are talking about swapping IN v6 springs....i'm assuming you are trying to improve in the drag race.
what your goals are would help us determine our suggestions

grab a rear swaybar off of a 3rd gen. they come as big as 24mm? i believe from the factory. it's a stock GM piece and you'll probably be able to find one pretty cheap.
as far as bushings, solid rubber/poly lca bushings will help reduce wheel hop and increase traction, phb can't hurt, and a poly torque arm bushing is a good idea. v6 springs will help as well.

yes it will bolt right up and then you can do a search and find pics of how people modded the lower control ams with new energy susp. bushing and even welded extra steel to reinforce it.

your stock rear swaybar is 19mm. on 3rd gens there were a bunch of suspension packages and each year things changed, so your best bet is just going around to scrap yards and measuring.
ws6's and irocs most likely came with 24's though i would assume. i don't know much about 3rd gens.
