I have a 72 Cutlass supreme which was an original 350 but had a 1970 455 in it when I bought it. I have had the engine in and out of the car 4 times. Motor mounts are an issue as the original do not handle the torque of the motor. Buy the steel mounts from Dick Miller Racing. Secondly I do have a Turbo 350 trans and it will be ok until I find a Turbo 400. the turbo 400 is the way to go. If you are putting on headers you will not be able to get these in the car once the motor is in. You may also have to move the brake junction box to the top of the frame if putting on headers. Other than that be care ful puuting in the motor if you have air because it is a tight fit and it doesn't take much to hit and crack the air housing and crack it. Also wrap the headers because they produce a lot of heat.
