Welcome! Nice truck! There's a ton of very useful info on this forum.
Most of your swap has been discussed in one form or another and if
you run into any problems chances are someone knows the answer.
Does your truck lay full frame?
If your front crossmember is laying your going to have to swap the truck oil pan out for a shorter pan.
The f-body (camaro/ firebird) ls1 pan is perfect but they are pricey.
The one I plan on using is the cts-v pan, a bit cheaper and pretty accessible.
I did all the measurements and it should clear by an inch on my setup.
I'm also bodydropping my truck 3.5 inches so I have other clearance issues.
The muscle car pan (aka hummer h3) by my measurements will bearly hang below the crossmember.
The engine mounts have some to do with this though so you will have to check your clearance.
I'm fabricating my own mounts to get the engine as low in there as possible.
Good luck and post more pics!
Edit, the 5.3 pump and lines are nearly identical to your original power steering lines.
Just bend them a tad and bolt them in.
