Radiator is a direct drop in. For the fans it depends on how you want to wire them. The easy thing to do would be to use the same harness you are using for the ls1 fans.

Radiator drops right in, you just have to trim the rubber flaps on both sides of it attached to the radiator support.

I got the bigger rad and efans from a 2007 NBS truck, and the rad and fans dropped right in, and i didnt even trim the rubber flaps, i also completely flushed out the old dexcool and put in some prestone coolant. I used a harness from Nelson Performance and it works great, the *** dyno says there was alittle power there, ive seen people say something like 15 horses, but i dont think it was that much.
