Well I will try to answer some of the questions that i know from doing my LT1 swap....

I would go to Jaguars That Run for the VSS (thats what I used, it runs off the speedo cable)

My 700R4 bolted right up to the LT1 (still the GEN 1 style bellhousing)

I used a flexplate from an automatic LT1 as well as the LT1 starter

I have a universal fuel cell with an external Walboro 255 inline pump and havent had a problem, just be sure to mount it at/below the bottom of the fuel tank. (It is pretty loud w/o being intank though)

I used the complete factory harness out of the 96' Camaro donor and havent had a problem, just takes time to weed everything out and be sure you have the connections necessary to run the engine.
