Weekend carb 5.3 swap question

Hello! Ive been wanting to do a 5.3/t56 swap on a bird for a while, recently I picked up a dirt cheap 91ws6 5 speed and carb'd 334 with nasty rust on the floors. Perfect candidate for a Wasteland build!
But, this hog is also my DD. My one and only DD. With that being said, II need to get a list together of ALL parts needed, that way I can knock it out on the weekend, call in sick on a Monday to finish and be done with it.
What I'm planning is just a pretty much stock 5.3 with t56. Nothing special. Not a dragger or racecar.

My current list o' wallet aches is:
5.3 long block
Fourth gen exhaust manifolds,
Fourth gen or truck accessories?? Don't have Ac, not an issue.
Carb intake
Carb, obviously
Hawks motor mount conversions
MSD ignition controller
Starter, accessories..
Bud light
T56 from an LS1 fourth gen
Hawks crossmember
Fourth gen hydraulics (????) Or can my existing ones be used?
Ls1 oil pan, windindage tray..etc
And huzzah?
All help appreciated!

I already run a autometer universal speedometer, no issues there.
Not going with spohn or any other suspension upgrades. Already have SFC'S

Re: Weekend carb 5.3 swap question

You can use your clutch master cylinder hydraulics, just change the line for the hydraulic throwout bearing.

I used the line that Hawks sells with the 4 AN line. I had to sand it down a little to fit in for the lock pin, but works just fine.
