Body harness you could take but I dunno if you will need it or be able to use it pending swap car.

Brakes would be the same, ABS will be interesting trying to make a fbod system work in a non Fbod, so I would save the calipers but odds are you prob won't use em. Now if its going in an LT1 car, you may get lucky on the ABS, but it'd be easier to reuse the LT1 ABS and swap front calipers to the LS1 style dual pistons.

body harness should not come into play in an enigne swap.

my car didnt have ABS breaks anyway. and if it is a Swap into a LT1 car, wouldnt i literly just unbolt the Kmember from LS car, and slid it right into place on the LT car? and then i would just swap over the rear brakes. ive been searchin for a write up on someone swapping it into a LT1 car, but i always end up on 240s or Fox bodys...
