Default Difficulty of swapping Pontiac into a chevy powered GA?

A 78 or 79 Grand Am just went up for sale in my area, (south Alabama).

I'm a novice concerning the 78-80 GA's, but I'm sure that it's not a 1980 from looking at the grill, and I guess that it was a california car since it has the 305 chevy.

The chevy mill is the only thing that has kept me from buying it at this point.
So how difficult would it be to swap a traditional Pontiac motor into it? What parts would have to be sourced and changed? Fuel lines, wiring, motor mounts, front springs? what about the radiator? Transmission I assume?

The car is decent shape as far as rust, worn original black paint with gold bottom, tan interior with console auto, seats ripped, gold snowflake wheels.

I seem to recall seeing an H in the vin. Does this signify the 305?
