Did you read the LT1 swap stickies?

Most people look for a complete engine drop-out from a Camaro/Firebird including engine, computer, and harnessing. Many I looked at (before deciding on the LS1) included the transmission as well. The cooling system is reverse flow, the LT1 radiator simplifies things a little bit.

Your TH700 will bolt up to the LT1, but '93 was the only year the throttle body included the TV cable. One member worked around that (check out the subforum). Using the 4L60E that came on '94-up LT1's isn't a bad idea, as the PCM controls it and is easy to reprogram, and it's a little bit of an upgrade from the TH700.

Fuel pump - Walbro 255 is very popular around here.

Wiring - see the stickies.
