1) Transmission linkage is super easy. You have two options. Use engine slider mounts and make sure the transmission stays in the same position longitudinally, or if it does not, the Lokar universal shift rod fits excellent and can be installed in about 15 minutes. I have the stock column shift and use the Lokar rod with the 4L80E.

2) If your transmission stays in the stock location, no driveshaft mods needed. Otherwise, a custom shaft would need to be build.

3) Power steering is also simple, you can simply swap the fitting from the back of your current pump to the newer pump on the LS. I even re used the stock lines after just a little bending for clearance.

Hope this helps and good luck.
