I think you go it Ron, the swap is pretty straight forward, there's always a few gotchas that you run into, but you'll be just fine if you do what you said below.
I wouldn't know about doing the trans swap, but it will bolt up and all you'll have to do is shorten that driveshaft.

Is that a RC you have, looks like you'll have something close to what GM should come out with and call it the SS, heheh

good luck and go for it, that's an awesome swap,
