going to swap in lt1 but have questions

ok everyone need help here..frist off the car is an 87 iroc tpi 350 I have had it for awhile...I decided to get it out and drive it (forgot how much fun the car was) I had the tranny built a few years ago.good stall the whole nine yards well it went out why I don't know but I know that if there was a warranty it is done over by now so now instead of pulling it and havint it rebuilt I have decided to drop in an lt1 motor and trans. question are simple I have a running 94 toadmaster with the lt1 in it got the car for free from my parents..body started going bad but runs great shifts good. I know the wiring harness motor and trans (dah) but what else should I keep before I start this project I have been reading all the posts that I can find but I know there is bound to be something I will need I just want to check with everyone here to make sure I get every little part off of it that I might need before it gets hauled off...will I need a computer from a camaro or can I use the one from the buick..
all help would be great. Would like to do this swap as cheap as I can then this winter I will change parts out for better ones just want to get it up and running as soon as I can..I already miss driving it..

Its pretty late so im not sure what you can keep off the top of my head.

The PCM (computer) can be kept. You don't need a camaro PCM.
