86 C10 LS 6.0 6L90E Swap

Ok. So I bought a 2009 3/4 Ton 4x4 with the 6.0 in it, along with a 6L90E Trans for $1500, 88000 miles on it. Dad and I all ready yanked the seats and put them in his 89 1/2 ton 4x4. That was a simple swap.. Drilled a few holes in the floor and threw in some longer bolts. I am going to be attempting the ever popular swap here in a few weeks. I have all ready purchased the Dirty Dingo motor mounts. I have a leed on the tail shaft adapter setup ($500), and contacted JUSTCHEVYTRUCKS.com about dumbing down the wiring to go into my 86. Dirty dingo has sent me a list of some of the things that I will need to put the A/C back in my truck along with the motor and bracketry. Something about actually having working A/C in an old square body appeals to me. I hear that one could get a fuel sending unit from an 87 R10 Truck (The first year TBI setup I think) and a fuel pump from a 98 along with a regulator to maintain 58-60psi and keep my original fuel tank. What do you guys think about this combination (Motor and Trans with 3:73 gears,a locker and 255/45/20 Tires). I'm not good at calculating. Reckon it will be fun to drive? Also, after I do the swap, I should have a good front diff, transfer case, drive shaft and rear end up for grabs if you're in the NW corner of TN.
This will take a while to do as I work offshore in the Gulf of mexico and am gone a lot. But I'll post as much progress as I make, when I make it.
