The two oil pressure senders did fit.

I did the same exact thing for my LX5 conversion. But the LS4 did not need an extra sensor, I used the donor car gauges. They run on a different type of system that allows me to run axillary gauges without any extra sensors. Yours runs the same way, but if you don't use the donor gauges and BCM it won't work. Doing swaps is a game of picking and choosing your battles.
Thanks for the many pictures, I love those. I would have loved to have done this swap.

Here's how the test fit of the shift cables looks.

Can you plug the connector into the vertical sensor as it sits or will you have to remove that dogbone mount? I @$$ume you're going to remove the dogbone mount anyway, but I can't tell if any of it also supports the accessory drive and will have to stay.

Actually it all fits nicely. I plan on using the dog bone mount to secure the engine.

what are your plans to use that mount at that location to help secure the engine... the firewall isn't thick enough and the next closest bulkhead area would be the frame rail or the shock tower.. and the side mount bracket would be far better to start from... I'm only asking this because I've been staring at a similar engine for a while now.

I plan on adding structural components to beef up the area.

It just seems like the amount of beefing required to make a firewall-mounted dogbone mount point would result in something so heavy/bulky as to be impractical, and still probably not that good.
