5.3 swap questions

I have a 1964 swb. I bought a 72 frame and plan to swap the body and horns onto the 72 frame since the frame has power disk brakes and power steering and collapsable steering column.

I also have a 2000 5.3 complete pullout a
Does the power steering work with the 72? And how about the oil pan?
I want a t56 but can't seem to find one without it being over priced. So I was thinking Muncie 4 speed.

I know I'll need a ls2 pilot bearing To make it fit.
The 72 has a drive shaft for a th350 so Will I need a new one or get that drive shaft fitted to The Muncie 4 speed?

Will the harness work or will I need to get it modified? And how do I get it to work with all my other harnesses in the truck?

What motor mounts and adapters do I need?
I will probably have my guy fab a trans cross membeR since most aftermarket xmembers throw off the motor angle.

I will be getting the gas tank moved to the under bed. Use walbro external pump and corvette filter/regulator/6an line and 4an return lines.
rears have stock gears but I'll probably swap to 3.42 to help driveavilith.

Truck will be dropped wit. Cut front springs, 3 in rear blocks and 6" drop springs
