lt1 swap questions

I have a lt1 out of an 95 camaro, was wanting to put it in my 1988 trans am gta that has a 305 tpi. I know you can use the tpi wiring harness for the lt1 but how do you drill a hole for the dizzy on the lt1 intake, also, how do you fix the reverse cooling problem on the engine? what else needs to be done for the swap to work. Thanks in advanced.

Why would you do the intake swap if you have the whole motor? Especially on a 305? Just do a complete lt1 swap lol
