Got the LT1

So I bought myself a LT1 today. For now it's gonna sit in the garage while I build it up. So here's my question(s).

A) Exhaust: one of the first things I wanna do is throw some headers on it. I've been wondering what headers should I get, not brand, but as in car specs... IE headers for camaros 93-97... The question is will they fit my car with the LT1 in it? (I'm thinkin SLP headers)
B) Doing a little research I was pondering where the MAF is... The LT1 I baught had nothing much past the TB. So if it was part of any of that I don't think I have it .
That's all I can think of for now but many more questions will come. (btw I'll try to search for them before posting )

1. 93-97 headers will NOT work, you will need 82-92 headers, they work just fine.

2. Try to get one used if you can, they don't usually go bad. Then get the TB bellows from a 95 Corvette and use the stock thirdgen TPI air filter housing for a clean, easy intake system.

You want SLP p/n 30005 for the headers SLP 30015 will also take care of the extra O2 sensor bung you need.

You can also use an 85-89 camaro tpi bellows for the air intake, its just a little bit of a fight to stuff the maf into the duct but it will work.
