Default 89 Camaro Help!!!

Hey all, my buddy and i just picked up a 1989 camaro RS this weekend. It has a v6 in it now and a 5 speed tranny. Last night we went and picked up a carborated 85 350 for it. The 350 was out of a truck though. Now i am a mopar guy (hopefully noone just stopped reading ) so i dont know too to much about chevy's but im doing all his mechanic work for him. Can anyone tell me what has to happen for this to work? Will the motor mounts on the k frame work ok and just need different motor mounts for the motor? or is that all different and im gonna have to weld new brackets? Since the motor is out of a pickup will the oil pan not fit in the car?? Also will that V6 5 speed work with the 350? maybe an adapter plate? I didnt think it would work so hes looking for a 350 turbo but i figured id ask anyways. Hes also going from fuel injection to carboration. I imagine that wont be to bad alot less rewiring... Hopefully there is some guys here who have done close to the same thing and could really help out cause ive heard this is a popular swap. Im all ears folks! thanks
Devin

Highly dought the mounting brackets will be the same, there will be some fab work needed. The oil pan shouldent be a problem. GL with your project..
