What's all needed to suppliment LT install?

So I'm going to buy a set of pacesetter LT's soon. What all do I need to install them?

I know I need OVC plugwires [where to get them?].
New 02 sensors [which ones? and how much each?]
02 sensor extentions [which ones, and where to get?]
EGR block off plate [how-to and where to get?]
AIR block off plates [how-to and where to get?]
Mail order tune for the LT's.
Aftermarket tunnel brace to clear y-pipe.

Am I missing anything?

My personal opinion is to stay away from Taylors. I'd suggest MSD's. I got them from Summit. You can also get made for you looms from them too i believe. You may have to drill them out to make the 8.5mm wires work.
O2's-i'd suggest getting GM ones from Jason Cromer
O2 extensions-I believe i got them from LS1 speed you probably only need 12" ones.
EGR plates can be had from Ebay or i think speed specialities.
AIR block offs i can't comment on them because i don't know what the pacesetters have for fittings.
I believe a lot of people leave off the tunnel brace.
Don't forget gaskets and header bolts.

Don't forget the PB blaster and you might as well change your motor mounts

I know I need OVC plugwires Highly Suggest MSD's from Summit: $60
New 02 sensors Not Necessary unless yours are shot I'd check them to see (Freescan)
02 sensor extentions Got mine from Thunderracing.com Everywhere is the same
EGR block off plate Easy, I'll help, got mine from TPIS, everywhere is the same
AIR block off plates No block off just tear it out.
Mail order tune for the LT's. I have the cable if you get an unlimited email tune from Madwolf
Aftermarket tunnel brace to clear y-pipe. Never did this.

Am I missing anything? Felpro Gaskets Autozone, band clamps, sawzall, lots of tools, pb blaster, something to plug AIR hole in CAI, header bolts (I used Blisten), High temp silicone for EGR plates, Good jack, big jackstands, some do OBD I conversions, steel braided dipstick if yours becomes a bastard, lots of help and patience, and unlimited Coke for Veteran Installer
So when are we doing this? Are you getting them sooner than anticipated? How long can the car be down?

I ordered my OTVC wire set already premade for my car through www.elitesparkplugs.com. Also, you might want to look into some locking header bolts to keep everything snug and some better header gaskets like Fel-Pro since the gaskets Pacesetter supplies aren't the best.
