Dry sump conversion

I've decided that my next project is going to be converting to a dry sump system. I have read the general consensus is it's not really necessary, but I've lost an engine and so have 3 others that I know personally. Plus I think it's gonna be a cool project...

I haven't really found any links to anyone who has done this already on our cars, but I know someone has to have done it.

Originally I was thinking about getting the kit LME offers here. My question with this kit is, after you remove the factory oil pump, is there a block off plate to cap the holes in the block? The site doesn't really cover that.

I was also thinking copying the C7 dry sump setup might work, with their internal pump it solves that question. My question there is if the C7 LT1 pan would physically fit into a Camaro?

Cost wise I'm sure copying the C7 setup would be slightly cheaper, but I'm not super concerned about the cost difference because they're both expensive.

I have some time, it'll be my project next winter, I just want to plan, get the parts etc. So any input or links to information about the conversion would be much appreciated.
