LT1 to LS1 front suspension/brakes/steering

Hey, I spun out and jumped a curb a couple days ago, and need to replace my k-member, right steering knuckle, and the right lower control arm. I'm thinking about getting BMR, or something to replace the k-member, and a stock knucle, and I dont know about the control arm.

However, I have access to a 2000 LS1 front suspension, with everything: brakes, rack and pinion, k member, upper and lower control arms. Everything I need, and more, with much better brakes than I have.

Now my questions:

I know the motor mounts are different, but could I change them out with LT1 mounts and use that k-member?

Also, would the rack and pinion and brake lines fit without any problems?

I've searched but cant find any answers. Thanks!

Anybody?

I know the brakes could work, cause a lot of people do it, and I could make the rack and pinion work, just might have to use my hoses, but what I'm mainly concerned about is the engine mounts. What would I need to do to make it work with an LT1?
