try a SEARCH or look at the post RIGHT ABOVE YOURS its a sticky, LT1 swaps in general, also the third post up from this one, LT1 wiring for dummies.

those threads should answer almost all your questions, and whateer ones they don't, a search should answer the rest.

what's up. i just did and am still doing my swap. i had a 305 tpi in my camaro and i put a 96 lt1 in it. if your buying the lt1 make sure or see if you can get it with the complete wiring harness. pcm (computer) and all acc. the fuel pump will be ok. i did not have to change mine. if your not running a/c you can get a delete wheel. and make sure you get the info for your car wiring diagrams and also info for the lt1 engine which there is plenty of info on this site. and also you will not be able to use 305 harness or computer
