there is nothing different mechanically between a normal LS1, and the one that came in the 2002ish Camaro. The only difference is a higher output alternator for the added electronics, and an oil and transmission cooler.
You're asking about an LS swap, which is rapidly becoming a really common thing. There's plenty of references to what people are doing, just try a forum search. Drop the LS1 phrase and just use LS when searching. The blocks are the same and that's the important information you are looking for. The aftermarket has motor mounts, headers, computer interfaces, and all that jazz to make the swap simple. Many members here will have information regarding what radiators work, any clearance issues, or anything else that may come up during the swap.
As MARKTDN said, the LS is drive by wire, so your throttle input merely tells a computer to adjust the throttle body based on a TPS sensor. If you want to run the 700r4, you'd have to switch to a carb setup, which is also readily available for LS engines. You get worse gas mileage compared to FI, but have the potential for more horsepower than a non-turbo/supercharged FI setup.
