77 Firebird LSA Swap Advice Help Needed

[77Bird]

Hi All;
I have recently sold my C5 vert and purchased a 77 Firebird Formula with 50,000 miles from the second owner. See car pictures below
Its a very clean car.

I am looking to the forum for advice

I want to install install a LSA with a 4L85e that GM performance offers as a 'connect and drive', however does anyone here know if the supercharger will clear closing the hood?
I can't seem to find that information

I am looking at LS swap kits? Any preferred Vendors?

Suspension options? 4 link or leaf springs?
Wheels I want to go with the 17" snowflake style, car came with the Pontiac wheels as the owner kept the 15" snowflake wheels and wouldn't part with them

The car will be a street car only
Appreciate any advice you all have as I am new to the gen 2 Firebird world.

I can't tell you if the hood will close but I can tell you Holley makes damn near everything to do the swap. I am in the process of doing a LS swap in my kids 80 TA and so far so good.

BuddyP is putting a LSA in a early 2nd gen Camaro believe he had to change blower lids to CTS-v version

I just did an lsa on my 71 Chevelle.
It cleared my hood, but then I chucked
It for a ss hood.

And I used everything from holly/hooker
It was much pricier but it’s all made
To work and fit together.
