Those things really cannot be changed without some modification. There are differences in the electronics that prevent an engine swap, but it is not that difficult.
I think for the rear end you need to swap the rear cradle with it. It doesn't just bolt up. For the trans, the A6 will not work in a C5 at all without extensive work. The manual trans is probably not as bad, but I don't know.

No need to use the C6 transmission and rear. The C5 is just as good. It is a lot easier to use just the C6 engine (LS2/LS3). As mentioned above there are some proceedures you need to do before the C6 engine will work. Several forum members have done the C6 to C5 engine swap. You can do a serch to see what is involved. Good Luck eh!

You don't say auto or manual but either trans will hold up. If it is a manual the clutch may need upgrading. If you mean you will not be running slicks the rear differential should be o.k. with the C6 engine.
