truck vortec fitting in fbody Qs

i have a few questions regarding fitment of a 99 vortec 5.7L from a suburban fitting into a 87 fbody...
-will the truck oil pan clear, it appears to be larger(maybe more capacity??)?
if the truck pan will not work i have a pan from a 90 fbody
-it did not come with a timing cover, will the 90 cover fit?
-my fbody is an original LG4 car, im reusing the carb and distributor and it will be computer controlled, does the vortec block have provisions for the sensors that the LG4 had?? it does not appear so to me and i do not see a spot for the oil pressure sending unit on the back of the block... what sensors can be deleted? is there a knock sensor on the vortec block? maybe the PO removed it??
any help from members who have vortecs in their cars is appreciated thank you
