The truck pan fits just fine, but depending on your motor height the pan will stick bellow the X-member. The truck pan is very deep as you know compared to the F-body one. I set the motor in and left about 1/2" between the front-bottom of the pan and the cross member then leveled the motor. The whole motor trans set up could probably come up and 1" maybe even 1 1/2" as the 4L80E isn't on the floor. But at that point think you'll run in to issues with the headers hitting the floor..

If I had to do it all over again, I would:

Take the sheetmetal off the front end
Put the motor/trans together and set them in
Put the headers on
Level it an raise it as much as I can
Set the tailshaft in the crossmember
straighten and level the front of the motor
Make the motor mounts.

I did it just a little different'y thinking I was going to use C5 Z06 manifolds .
