'94 LT1 swap advice/help
Hello, I have recently acquired a 94' LT1 T56 T/A and I am planning on putting the engine/trans/rear in my 87' T/A after this conversion I'm planning on doing a 4th gen dash swap.
My question is how does the wiring come into play between harnesses on the car, engine, ECM, interior? Would most of it be "plug and play"?
I'm thinking of doing custom 4th gen door panels as well so I would have switches in the door, and mentally attempting to have full functioning heat and AC. I know stock camaro/firebird LT1 has issues with position of AC compressor. Anyone have success using corvette LT1 AC bracket?
Anyone have experience in full conversions? Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

If you plan to swap the dash too, Id swap every wire from the donor over, column, cluster, all the interior you can grab

Won't be much left to worry about.. Fuel pump.. fans if you're not swapping the 4th gen ones.. Some power and Gnds.. big project all at once though. I'd keep notes.

Corvette LT1 bracket works fine but you need the accessories and damper. Spacing off the block is different than Fbody.
Custom AC lines and notching of the kmember are required to use AC on Fbody acc. The customer lines are the hardest part.
If you're swapping dashes, I'm not sure how the blower/heater box with AC will swap. Likely not a huge issue.
