As for accesories, a lt1 f body engine belt bracket setup will not fit without soem minor modification for the compressor. But you then can look at the Corvette LT1 accessory bracket setup with allows more lower clearence.

A custom trans crossmember could be bought(at least for 3rd gens) or made, the mounting point of T56 is just about 3" further back than T5/700R4

painless wiring makes stand alone setups to run the LT1, or you could swap the entire wiring harness over which wouldnt be that difficult

SBC headers bolt up, but im not sure if there is anythign about the shape of the exhaust port, even so, you could use an lt1 flange, and cut the flange off sbc headers and reweld.
I think you need to use D-Port headers, but I'm not sure.
