I don't know if anyone has done an LS1 swap yet, but it will be a pain in the a$$!! The LS1 needs different motor mounts and many other things that I can't think of at the moment.
You get a 396 by adding a 3.85" stoker crank and boring it .030" over. This is what I'm going to use in my Formula when I get the money. The only reason I'm choosing a 396 over a 383 is that I want to be different and since I will be using a SC or a turbo, it doesn't cost much more than an all forged 383. If you are just gonna run N/A I would recommend going with a 383.

Sorry, Street and Performance web site is www.hotrodlane.cc
Also, as long as you get the T 56 that came with the LS1, there's no problem with the hydraulic clutch.
