Yes, no problems with a swap in your truck.
There is no one itemized list, there are so many variables with an LS/Vortec based swap that a full list is impossible. You have to narrow down your specific drive line before even a partial list is possible.
Everything you need to know is available here on MUD and other internet sites. DO NOT limit your searches to LC specific sites. Some guy in Idaho with a 69 Camaro had the same issue you do to overcome and detailed how he did it on a Camaro forum somewhere.
I have done multiple swaps and I can tell you that no two have been the same yet. Example: GM makes changes in harnesses, throttle bodies, water pumps, PS pumps, exhaust manifolds, intake manifolds, fuel line arrangements etc etc etc. All the time!
At one point they were selling LS3 C&C packages but were not selling the front drive assembly for that specific motor because they had PS pump supply issues. Consumer was left to go to an older front drive assembly and make it work. I had a 5.3L Vortec crate motor that their part# starter would not bolt up. GM Performance had no clue about it. The guys at Summit Racing did and had the right starter on my door the next day! Free! With a return ticket on the wrong starter.
Best advice I have is to write it all down on paper and start filling in the blanks. Do not cheap out on cooling and wiring. Good luck with your swap
