Yes, just stick it in.

In case you only change you have to do is to get new exhaust pipe.

In Caminos from 1978 to 1987 engine swap is piece of cake.

All the parts in brakes and suspension are the same. Only engine size varies.

In case you have air condition, you probably have to change your front coil springs - there is 2 different strengths between v6 and v8 with air cond.

That's all. Lift old one out and new one in - and let's drive.

Can you do a direct swap 305 engine tranny from a 1981 c10 to 1981 el camino with a v6?

It depends on which v6 you have. If it is a 4.3 v6, then it is an easy swap. If it is a 3.8 v6 then the trans bolt patter will be buick style and won't fit unless you are lucky enought to have a BOP patterned bell housing. Also the v6 trans won't hold up to a v8. They have less clutches in the low gear and 3rd gear positions. Hope this helps.
