LT-1 Swap Help!!

Ok, so I have this friend that told me he would help me with an engine swap. he has built race cars before, and has done tons of engine swaps. So I thought great! I got the LT1 and got my 91 Camaro to his house to do the swap. I've never done an engine swap before. So, we get everything disconnected from the top, and flywheel unbolted, etc. Now that the car is taken apart, and not driveable, he tells me he doesn't have time to do it anymore. I have no idea what I am doing, and was curious if someone who has done the LT1 swap before would be willing to come out and give me a hand. the car is in Andover. I would be willing to pay a little, I don't have a lot of money to give you because I blew it all on the engine and parts, but could probably do something like $200. I would even be willing to do all the work and let you just tell me what to do. If anyone could do this for me it would help a TON!! Just send me a PM and I can give you my contact info.

Im in the same situation, but I didnt take apart my current engine,but I did take apart my LT1 in my garage. You should of bought everything for the LT1 swap then taken the engine out... was it running before you took the engine out?

yeah, it was running, the engine isn't exactally out. Just everything is unhooked. So now it is not driveable.
