If you already have the computer and everything, just verify that you have a TAC module and its harness. Then locate a matching throttle pedal and throttle body for the year and vehicle. In your case, it sounds like something like an 06 silverado would provide the right plastic-arm DBW pedal to interface with the 06 computer and TAC, and provide the correct TB. They are easy to find in junkyards!
The truck manifolds usually won't fit as stated by the others. Tbss/gen5 camaro/gto and a few others can work. If you have header budget, get a good set of longtubes for the swap. That way when you have it tuned to delete all the emissions etc, you can account for the changes and be tuned-and-running the first time around.
I used fuelinjectionconnect for my harness and always recommend them for the way they came through for me. That being said, we have vendors here that do harnesses which some members have used.
If you want, you don't have to use those Delphi truck injectors. That connector limits you in terms up uprated injectors if you ever planned to build bigger power in the future. You can get an EV1 or EV6 set of pigtails built into your harness, which allows you to run those style injectors. Way more common in various stock rates, and much cheaper for custom ones down the line if you ever needed to.
If your running a fuel cell, you can run either type of pump, it just depends how your cell in configured. A regular square cell with a hole in the top will do better with an in-tank pump modded to a stock-style pickup/sender. If your fuel cell is baffled and sumped, you can run an external. While the in-tank will be quieter and run cooler, the external setup is easier to service, and more reconfigurable for the future (again, if your looking to build it up ever).
Thats my $1 on the subject....I'm waay past giving .02c anymore.

I broke the TB. So I will be needing one. And I called the guy and he said I can get the TAC and pigtail tomorrow. Just need to look it up so I know what I'm after. I have the pedal and bracket for it.
I want to be as stock as possible. Whats the Benifit of delete emissions? Doesn't the engine need the O2 sensors? Or am I not understanding what you mean about that? If I have to I can get headers. But I would like to be stock and use manifolds if I can find them and not pay as much as headers would be.
Can you explain ev1 & ev6.
And the pigtails? Are you meaning pigtails for later or to fit the stock one? I'm lost about the injector situation.
