Narrative:
Departure runway 16R at vny on canoga 8 SID. Before 2.2 DME and 1700 ft tower gave us a turn (early turn) and switched us to approach control. Immediately upon contact with approach control he said 'traffic alert, 11 O'clock, 1/2 mi.' I was doing checklist items and (tune and switch radio) looked up and saw king air(?). Pt (captain, not me) in the left seat immediately took evasive action to pull up and miss the other aircraft. Our stall stick shaker activated and we then had to lower the nose to regain airspeed. I then told the approach controller that we saw him and missed him and where did he come from. ATC said he was in the pattern at van nuys working with the tower. I told him that we were informed about the previous departure but no one else. High cockpit workload and too much dependency on ATC could be a possible problem. Possible preventive would be to hold on checklist items until 1500 ft AGL or higher.
