I would strongly suggest picking up a 97+ SSEi if you really want a supercharged engine. Doing a top swap will run you between $500 and $1000, plus you will need a lot of tuning, and that'* hard with a OBD1 engine. You could be pushing $2000 be the time your done. Pick up a newer L67 and go from there.
Also, welcome to the forum. I'm sure you will learn a lot, and also be a great help here.

Mike...this is the list of benefits for being a supporter! In short, yes you do get decals. Drop an email to Venom if you have not yet received your decals.

You can pick up a 97 for a good price. The SSEi will have more room inside and have a better smoother ride, but you pay for that in speed. The GP is a bit faster in a quarter mile. You can get them real close with a little work. If you can find a 98 or better you will be better off, the 97 has a few small issues, but nothing major. Once your in to the 2000s the price jumps. As for working on the engine, 97-99 is easier, more room. Less room on the 2000+, and no room at all on the W bodys.

The heads have issues with micro cracks, and the 4t65e-hd transmission has a diff that is different from other years. So if you have a problem with the diff you need to change the output shaft and diff cover along with the diff. Neither of them is a real issue if your handy with a wrench.
