I need to know EVERYTHING that this will required to be done. I have just taken my 305 aprt and every piston is missing it's skirt. I got an LT1 from my friend and I want to put it in. What is it going to take to make this fit?

Hey Multi-taking well I've read so far a least 10 websites with explaination on engine installaion.
the best ares:

The hardest thing will be to removing the gas tank and put a high pressure fuel pump. Then there's the thing with sledge-hamming your cross member to fit the A/C compressor, It's pretty easy to do so don't worry about that. Also I hope you have the original key of the 93 car because there's a resistance in the key for a system called v.a.t.s. (vehicule anti teift system) if you don't have it you will not be able to start the engine. You'll have the find the ECM right resistor and solder it to the 2 small yellow cables comming out of the ECM and going the the key barril don't for get to remove the resistance on your key because it will change the value of the total resistance.The 2 cables ares located right under the sterring colum panel )...they can have other colours. There's a possibility of 15 different resistances mine was 519 ohms.You'll also have to make a fuel fitting for the fuel line because you can't connect the old fuel line directly on the engine fuel intake. I recommenced getting plastic fuel line it's easier to work with. Another thing !, the air intake will be lower than a regular TPI engine so think about fabricating an air intake. I'll be using an intake from a 2.8 camaro MFI 1987 it fits perfectly. You're lucky by the way because you got the 3.42 gears in your rear-end , myself i got the sh*ty 2.73 for now. sincwe you have a v6, you'll have the change the suspension on your RS because if you keep it stock you rear wheel will be spinning like hell because the weight is not well balance and you camaro nose will eat pavement everyday !!!Don't know if you know but the manifolds of the 4th gen engine will not fit , same thing with the y-pipe , I would recommence get a v8 y-pipe and manifolds but if you wanna go with header buy the hedmans headers you'll have little mods to do but it soulhd bolt right up !!! anyway hoping that this will help alot !!!
