Question engine swap 3800 to ls1 camaro

Hi everyone I am new to this chat room . I need a little info on a camaro that I am working on in a few weeks.I have a 97 RS with a bad motor , I also have 98 Z28 with a ls1 in it , this body of this car damaged so I have a good donor car . Swapping the engines is no problem the wiring is where I need help .I have all of the wiring from the engine bay. Any info would be great .

Thanks

The whole drivetrain should be an easy swap. For the wiring I would recommend getting some Helms manuals for an LS1. They have lots of schematics.
