On the vortecs just as any other header will. The exhaust ports are the same as any other small block.
But if ya want to stay on the cheap, just rebuild the heads you have now. Just the downfall is the car will be out of commission for a bit.

The heads cost the same to rebuild. Its a question of if I want to spend to get an intake. If the ports are the same then I see no reason why the manifolds already on the car won't work. Other advantage to doing the vortecs, is I can drive the GTA around if I want or need to and do it as a head swap when they're done over a weekend. Cost a lil more, but in the overall scheme you do get a lil more out of the motor. People have talked of having a 300 horse motor just with vortecs and a base swap. I doubt I'll get that high, but I would def see an increase in the car's performance. I'll talk to a machinist I know to see what he says. I can do the assembly and disassembly of the heads, if it will keep the price down. just need parts and an intake.
