Engine is already tested, not on dyno but still... Guy who did build engine has tested everything. Of course rest of adjusting can be made when car is on road and can go to dyno
A few hose and exhaust, then must start to connect new wire set to old and hope that can get old cluster etc work correctly

My car is an '84 but has the LT1 radiator and dual fan setup in it. The radiator is a cheap LT1 style aluminum one from Amazon (approx ~$150) that uses a remote reservoir and cap.

Ok, but is the lower outlet on same location? I did look that diameter is same (34mm/38mm on hose). Maybe must order and try...

It looks like it is in the same or near the same location after comparing photos on google. Probably doesn't make much difference but my radiator doesn't stand straight up like the earlier C4s, it is the slanted back style.

Veeku, The only issue you will have is the oil temperature sensor. You can buy an adapter to get the sensor to work. You guys running an oil cooler? I'm not running one at this time. My car doesn't run hot, so I didn't feel the need to install one. You guys in the warm parts of the world might want to think about.The stock sensor will just into by the oil cooler port. I'm not running my dash coolant temperature, but my fast display should my right side head temps and I have an autometer coolant temp gauge for my left side head. Hate to ask this Veeku, but have you closed your hood yet? Those accessory brackets might get close to the hood, so keep an eye on that. I cheated by running speed/density (no maf, no throttle pedal to wire in). Curious on what cam you got? She gonna a fast car buddy.
Jeremy, I forgot your running the Holley accessory kit and has an AC compressor in a much better position than my accessory kit.

As you see from photos, there is plenty of free space
Only ac compressor is very close... but it will go down a few millimeter from that.And I think, I must cut hood a little bit for air intake, at same time I can cut those old intakes away... more space for alternator... Still I will take recommendations which air inlet should use
And I have too holley ac bracket and C5 alternator/steering pump bracket..
Oil temperature sensor is ok, I use C5 sensor and it's now on leg of oil filter (should have same ohms). Oil pressure sensor is still what I don't know, original is so big that can't fit it on top of engine. But which other one would work with original cluster? There is no need to switch anymore (that will come for ecu) Only pressure sensor for cluster is needed.
Oil cooler I have already on car (was for old engine), but at beginning I'm not going to use it... just put plugs to cooler.
Cam is BTR stage 4 truck cam... And yes, we hope that about 500hp should get, lets see
Next problem will be dana 36 I think?
And more photos from my project can be found: https://vaksela.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Corvette/
For some reason I can't get all to correct timeline... but to there I try to add all project photos and videos...

I finished mounting the accessory drive (ac compressor installed after this photo) and got the intake on and torqued. My old fuel line is in the perfect spot and bolted right up, just need to handle the plumbing on the filter end.
Going to get the headers in the car and clearance a few primaries with my big ol ****** Hammer so I don't melt my Chevy to the ground

Awesome progress!
Will you be using a C5 filter/reg?
any plans to go to Corvettes at Carlisle?

Hey are those stainless braided lines fuel lines? I would also wrap them as well. I wrapped my headers, fuel lines and my starter. You going to run the heat shields on the spark plug wires? What thermostat you going to run? I'm running a 180 deg unit.
Looking good, gonna be running very soon.

180 stat came with the Holley kit so that's what I'm gonna run.
Wish I wasn't out of town this week for work again, can't get any time in the shop except on the weekends
