If you’re going to go through the trouble of a swap, you may be better off with an LS1 swap instead - just as complicated, more reliable ignition electronics (they don’t call it the Opticrap for nothing). Besides, in '99, the V8 option was the LS1 anyway.

Otherwise, all you’d need is stuff from a donor car, really.
