Root, I am working on the same swap in my 49. I also have the 2001 5.3 with the stock accessories. I had to pull off the A/C compressor, the stock one does not fit. For the exhaust manifolds I am using C-5 corvette, I also hear the SS Trailblazer ones will also work. The power steering should work in the stock location but will have to notch out the inner fender a bit. I was also going to us a 700R4 but don't want to deal with the PITA TV cable, so going with a 4L60E. The stock computer if you have one with the automatic transmission tune will run the 4L60E no problem. Hope that helps some.
