LT1 Engine Swap

Hi, I was wondering what all would have to be done to swap an LT1 into my 1989 POntiac Trans Am wioth the LO3 TBI 305 engine? I would like to know anything possible that people could tell me to help in doing this swap. What parts, electronics, suspension, and anything else that would need to be changed to do this swap. I haven't started looking for the engine yet because i would like to see what all is involved in doing this swap and is the time and money put into it worth it. I have really been wanting to do this because i really like the LT1's. I would also like to put the T56 Transmission in it also. What all would have to be done for that because i have the 700R4 right now but i want the 6-speed. PLease let me know anything possible to help. Parts list would be nice or anything else. Thank you.
