Vette LT1 swap help

What do i need to do about the exhaust? I know the vette exhaust comes out the middle sooooo what do i need to do? Get the Vette exhaust and modify it, or keep my exhaust with different manifolds and put on vette manifolds. Any of tips you can think of that you had trouble with during your vette swaps let me know please. Thanks.

Need 82-92(thirdgen) shorty or longtube headers with at least 1 5/8" primaries. The stock 4th gen firebird/camaro manifolds will work somehow but... why. The hedman shorty headers with d-ports and hedman y-pipe are what most LT1 swappers use. If you don't get ceramic coated ones, put on header wrap. If you need emissions and all that crap, I think 82-92 SLP headers are the only shorty headers that have emissions stuff. Summitracing.com sells these.

The vette oil pan needs to be swapped with one from a 4th gen. Might be a good idea to get 4th gen firebird/camaro fuel rails too.
