I have a manual, so let me address that.
1) I have ZL1 clutch, ZL1 driveshaft (don't think the 1LE has the ZL! driveshaft), and ZL! axles (passenger side needed a 3/4 spacer). So you will need an aluminum one-piece shaft and a shaft safety loop.

For street tires and 305 drag radials this is plenty strong

If you intend to run real slicks and drag race this at a prep track, IMO the entire setup is weak, I'd go for a ZL1 trans which is stronger due to the lower gear ratio, a centerforce clutch, full 9" conversion, should run a blowbell.

You did say it was a dream build.

If you are looking to really wow the crowd at the 1/4 mile then:
turbo 400 conversion, trans brake, full manual valve body, I still upgrade the ZL1 axles to performance axles, large slicks, need a Holley Proram sticking out of the hood
