A bit on the large side, but at least they now show.
Thanks for the feedback.
I am getting smarter about all this. Hope to make some progress this weekend.

That is a nice find and good score! Can't wait to see the final results.
You're pretty far along - I guess you've measured? What ECU are you planning to use?
I'm guessing you haven't stuck the engine in the XJ yet - I'm wondering how the LS3 pan will fit in there. I'm doing a 5.3 swap now and have a few different pans including an LS3, which I'd prefer to use if possible. I'm also going to try to run the L99 alternator/power steering setup. I think it will clear both the hood and the steering box.
FYI, that isn't a factory blower option on the Camaro. It's a Magnuson TVS2300, an aftermarket kit (a good one). Judging by what I see here I'd bet it's set up for about 6psi. I know you spent some good money to buy this, but you might consider doing a cam swap and get rid of the AFM/DOD stuff. Even just a stock LS3 cam (cheap used) and a few new lifters, valley plate, and a few other misc items would do it.
I sat the engine down in there tonight with the LM7 pan and it's clear that the LS3 pan is going to be a lot closer to the axle tube, too close probably unless you have a good bit of lift. I have only the stock worn out suspension in right now, and the LM7 pan does clear everything nicely. The oil filter is close to the pinion yoke on the axle, but should stay out of contact.
FWIW I also have Trailblazer manifolds and the driver's side is just thiiiiis close to fitting. The flange kicks out just a bit too much and it runs into the bracketry that holds the lines there. It might work if the flange is replaced.
