I use the conversion mounts that adapt over and use stock GM SBC mounts and put it in right location. Use shorty headers for Camaro. If your truck was originally an O/D auto you shouldnt need a trans xmember. If you have the stock camaro/vette harness $500 will turn it into a stand alone harness, or buy a new one for a $1000 or less. Electric fans a must, better drop in fuel pump, fuel line adapters, Intake filter of some sort, etc.
