Here's a summary of a 77 page report from 1965 done by Chrysler Space Division on integrating the Centaur as a third stage on a Saturn IB vehicle. Mostly charts-n-graphs but some interesting dialog discussing different aspects of integration and making all the connections for pressurization and fueling of the Centaur and it's pressurization systems and thruster fuel system (hydrogen peroxide) as well as chilldown requirements and insulation of the Centaur within the Saturn IB payload fairing. Essentially the Saturn IB itself was unchanged.
