If I remove this will it mess my power steering pump up?

I am buying a LO5 350 from a 92 K1500 to replace my LO3 305 in my 90 K1500. I know I need the ECU but should I get the wiring harness with the PROM also? And does anyone know the performance specs of the LO5? (HP & Torque)

I have a 1994 K5 with the 5.7 TBI and when I first start driving I will slow down like for a light or to turn and then when i accelerate my engine bogs down for 2-3 seconds then picks back up. It seems to stop doing this after my engine warms up. Any idea what it is?

I have a 454/4L80E swap out of a 93 1 ton truck. I haven't done anything to it engine wise yet but I'm planning on doing a cam swap and throttle body mods within the next two weeks and I was just wondering if anyone on here could help me with choosing a cam! I know what cam I'm getting when I decide to stroke it but for now I just want to pep it up some. Also, what else should I upgrade with a cam? I'm getting a Double roller timing chain but is there anything else? Thanks in advance!

Need help. Truck is running extremely lean. With a little help it will start and stay running for a few minutes but then it starts bogging down and dying out. It cuts off as soon as I put it in drive. In the last week I have installed new: fuel pump & filter, injectors, rebuilt tbi, check fuses, and bypassed egr valve (egr hasn't worked for 2 years). I just sucked out the rest of the fuel. I tried to change a o2 sensor but my exhaust doesn't have 1. My next steps are map sensor, knock sensor, then computer. Any thoughts before I go completely bankrupt?

Whats the best way anyone has found to stop the oil cooler lines from leaking? I put new ones in on my new engine and a month later they were weeping
