Re: trans swap
There have been a lot of 3rd gens that had LS1s with T56s put in them, so it can be done, and there will probably be how-tos somewhere in the web.
Also, I would deffinatly recomend the T56 over the T5 as it can handle a lot more power and torque (300+ lb-ft of torque can break a T5).

Re: trans swap
The 93 -96 Camaro Z28/FormulaT56/Trans am have the same bolt pattern as SBC. Also the ZF 6 speed used in 89 - 96 Corvettes would also bolt up to a SBC.
