some help for my 87 LT1 swap?

ok so i recently blew the POS 305 TPI motor that was in my 87 trans am and have been dying to put an LT1 in it..i managed to get the motor about a week ago from a friend that came out of a 95 camaro FOR FREE yeah free.he took it out cuz it was overheating,turns out it was just a head gasket to my discovery everything else looks mint.I also got the computer and harness,now my question is how much of a pain in the *** is doing the harness swap gonna be? ive been reading up alot about it and have been trying to follow along but its confusing espc since i havent really dug into the wiring yet to check it out,im currently putting the motor back together and making it look pretty and what not..any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated..i am aware that im gonna need to bypass the VATS but from what ive heard,that doesnt look to hard.
