Besides the hood and front bumper, I'm not sure about the front side fenders but I'm guessing you need to change those too.

I believe you pretty much need the entire front clip, fenders included. Also some stuff under the hood. I think radiator supports, light assemblies etc. I believe it's pretty involved. Try to find a donor car if you can. I personally wouldn't bother unless my front end was wrecked. Just seems to me that I can spend that money on go fast goodies instead but to each his own. Good Luck

98-02 Hood
98-02 Fenders
98-02 Front Bumper Cover
98-02 Front Impact Absorber
98-02 Front Bumper Support
98-02 Headlight Asemblies and Motors

If you are keeping the LT1 just a little trim work done to the LT1 radiator support is neccesary.

The 98-02 hood, front bumper cover, and fenders all bolt to the same existing 93-97 holes. Another words they share the same bolt pattern.

FRONT CLIP SWAPS ARE HELL!!! Basically no matter what **** never goes right. I had a chevy truck the with escalade front end. Nightmare!!! It used the same radiator supports and all that stuff and it was still hell!! Basically unless your diehard about it. Just keep your stock front end. Do a v6 firebird on a lt1. The changing of the lights and motors is the part that most concerns me about a ws6 swap!
