There have been a few in the non-Olds powered forum. Basically just treat it like a Chevelle and buy the kits.

You have to be careful with that because some of the OD transmissions won't fit in the tunnel without modifications to it.

I agree there are some transmissions that require a minor/or major tunnel mods. Again its been covered and no one is reinventing the wheel with this mod anymore.
