Default Help Ls-9 Wet Sump Conversion Help

We have a client that wants to do a conversion on their LS-9. We have done LS-7 and I know the engines have different parts so has anyone up here done this conversion? Need to know what all surprises to watch for. I know you need pan, pump, adapter for pan and???

I am having a hard time finding someone that has actually done this conversion. We have done a lot of LS-9 cars but this will be the first wet sump application.

Thanks for any help.
