This will either be into a s13 or s14:
Since the ls7 has a dry sump system and the external oil tank i wouldnt need any aftermarket pan or oil filter relocate stuff correct?
I know i need the mounts which are the same as ls1 right?
has anyone done this swap and tried to used the stock manifolds?
is the power steering, clutch lines and the rest of the swap stuff similar or the same as a ls1?
Any recommendations or other info i will need?

As for the LS7, it SHOULD fit the ls1 swap kits, but call any of the swap companies to confirm. Yes on basically all the other info you asked. Read some swap threads; there's a good thread right now on here that some dude is swapping an LS3 into his car.

4 - Yes depending on which accessories you take off of which car |
LS7 is dry sumped; the pan is smaller and should clear the xmember nicely.
Lastly, as for the why swap an ls7, this is actually a good question. The sleeves in the LS7 are complete dogshit and crumble relatively easily; don't believe me, call up Dan Benson and he will tell you. A simple ls1/2/3/9 or lsa is good enough. I got an LS2/t56 complete swap with pedal, ecu, harnesses, even dash cluster for only 5k... and it makes over 500hp with all the extra shyt on it. No reason to spend 7-10k on an LS7 that barely makes 500hp.
