I put the V8 sway bar on (just the SC variety) during the swap before I drove it. Just seemed like the right thing to do, comparing their relative sizes.
I didn't do the springs right away. The V6 springs had been replaced by the previous owner just before he let the block freeze, so I figured they would be okay. Wrong! I was bottoming out constantly, put the "old" SC V8 springs in, problem solved.
Others have reported no problems with V6 springs. If you don't have AC, or have a manual transmission, you can probably get away with it.
