Planning Ahead 355/TH350 Swap

I'm Planning Ahead for an Engine swap Into my 88 Camaro, Currently equiped with a 305 TBI/700r4 Combo. I have an S-10 at home with a mild 355/Th350 that im going to part out for this project.
I know im going to need a fuel system change, Complete Exhaust (wanting long tubes) and so on.
What can be done with the stock tank? Im trying to make the car appear stock as possible on the outside. Has anyone sumped the stock tank? I have also read that you can just use a bypass regulator with the stock TBI pump, How reliable is this? Will it feel my mildly cammed 355?
What do most people run for long tube exhaust? Im more or less looking for a playtoy so if i lose ground clearance so be it, as long as its driveable. Drove a 4/5 dropped s10 for a while so im used to driving love stuff. Just wanting to run mufflers with dumps maybe bullet mufflers?
What Is needed to use my TCI streetfighter TH350? Can the stock crossmember be modified? I have seen B&M's torque arm mounts also. Any reccomendations? Shifter reccomendations?

since you're new i'll be nice. but there is a feature at the top called "Search" and it will give you answers to all these questions since they've been posted several times.

TBI pump might feed a mild motor, need a #4309 mallory return regulator to lower to carb pressures. Stock tank can be sumped, jegs sells a house brand sump that can be welded on and an external pump like a holley blue used. Long tube exhaust is on the exhaust board, has several sticky's devoted to it.

TH350 swap kit is offered by B&M through summitracing.com
