89 GTA L98 into a 92 Z28 W/305

I bought a 89 GTA parts car for my TTA it has a strong running L98.
What issues will I run into swapping the older L98 into my 92 Z28
Seems like a stright forward swap.

Two options:

1) Switch the entire L98 system into the '92, which would replace the SD system with MAF.

2) Put the L98 longblock under the LB9 system. Swap injectors, knock sensor, and update the SD PROM for 350 values.
