Corvette fuel rail covers on an F-body mods?

I found a link on :

http://www.projecttransam.com/projec...Type&Value=LS1

For a "how to" written by Author: Todd Brandon on Site: 98 Formula WS6, but
the link is dead. His email is also dead. Anyone know if this info got relocated
to a new place?

THats exactly what I am asking, I did a search, but its all sketchy info. What
needs to be moved, modified is what I am after. The best info I found so far
is an Ebay ad selling pre modded covers.

You need to notch the Passenger side for the Alternator brace, and either notch or cut shorter on the driver side in order to clear the fuel pressure regulator. (The back half of the cover for the driver side)

Was there also a second channel cut into one side? There is a strange
shaped cut with a larger area on one cover. I read that a second one
needs to be added. Something about relocating the dipstick tube??

I thought with an LS1 it was a bolt-on swap? I guess I just thought that because I've seen so many LS1's with Corvette fuel rails (or maybe I'm completely thinking of something else).
