Hi everyone. First post!
I've been researching an LS swap into 98 Chevy truck. It's a factory 305 automatic. This site has been a great help, but I've still got a few questions.

1. What engine accessories do I use. I know I have to use a different A/C compressor, but what about alternator and starter? Will I need to use the ones from the LS engine, or can I use what I've got?

2. Other than motor, harness, ecu, flywheel adapter, o/p and temp sensor adapters, and fuel adapters, is there anything else I need? (planning to use stock LS manifolds for now)

3. Is there a way around the VATS without sending my ecu out to someone? Is there a way to make my passlock send an appropriate signal to the VATS? There's gotta be a work around for this. lol

I'm sure that I'll have more questions, but this is what's come to mind after reading a LOT for threads and boards.

Thanks!
