Ok so '89 camaro RS, currently has a 305 in it, TH-350 Automatic Transmission. Trying to figure out parts that I need in order to swap the engine from a '95 Trans-Am, the engine comes with the wiring and computer, so what else would I need? Please correct what I have / help me figure it all out if you can, this is really my first time working on a car, I'm doing this to learn a bit..
And I would need to tune the computer up right? I have heard of programs that I could use from my laptop to do this simply by connecting a cable.
Also, I was told my TH-350 would bolt up to the LT1, is this correct?
And one more thing.. I've got a wiring problem, probably going to need to replace the wiring harness that runs to the fusebox, headlights, radio, high-beams, turn signals.. all of that stuff. What wiring harness(es) would I need? The original ones or the LT1 harnesses? And also links to this would be helpful.
MHO I would scratch the list you can get fule lines cheaper and unless you need new mounts scratch it. I have read (mabey ls1 swap) that the poly mounts will make the headders awful close if not rub the a/c box. You can use the power steering pump off the LT1 and a PS line from a lt1 caprice. Search here and other places you can get dual fans for around $70.
Also check this out it may answer any more questions you have http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/lt...questions.html (Common LT1 Swap Questions And Answers)
The harness you will need your tbi and the lt1 harness.

Okay so the mounts I currently have will work? and I don't have an a/c anything.. the guy who had the car before me went and hacked all of the a/c components out of the car..
