converting an 86 2.8 to a 93 lt1

im new to this forum. please bare with me. i used to have a 93 z28 that i did a little motor work to. then i sold the body to a friend of mine. i inherited a 1986 camaro with a 2.8, and was wondering what it would take to put the lt1 and six spd in it. it would be nice to use this car, because the body is straight! if any of you would like to help me with getting together the information, it would be greatly appreciated! thanks.

You'll need the fallowing:
Fuel pump
Fitting to adapt the fuel line
V8 motor mounts
Tune on the LT1 PCM to have the VATS disabled
Headers (hooker makes ones for LT1's in 3rdgens)
Retaining the A/C would be tricky with Fbody accesories
Possibly radiator
Radiator hoses

It really a pretty easy swap.
