You can use the pan, pickup, and windage tray from a Camaro or Firebird. The Corvette pan assemblies without the bat wings will work too.
There is a lot of info to be found at http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/

Depending on where your crossmember is, the GTO pan might also work for you. It's a front sump. You can use whatever you want, just make sure that you match the pickup to the pan.
