Getting a 305 t5 for my car...what do do before i drop it in?

ive decided to replace my seized 2.8 engine with a 305/t5 setup from another firebird.. My only questions are what are some good fail safes to do to it before i drop it in? The place im going to buy it from starts them up and lets them run before you buy them, so im not too worried about that... My questions are: should i drop a cam in? What about rockers? The engine will be supercharged in a year or two and this motor swap is on a very very strapped budget. im not looking to do heads or anything now... TIA for any input!
