You can't use the LT1 bellhousing for a few reasons:
1. the input shaft on an LS1 style T56 is 3/8" longer than a T56 from an LT1. The input shaft would be inside your crank with an LT1 bellhousing.
2. The LS1 uses a hydraulic throw out bearing, and the LT1 uses a hydraulicly actuated clutch fork, and bellhousings are setup accordingly.
The tunnel on the A body is too small for a T56, hence the tunnel cutting. There is no way it will fit in there as is. Once the new tunnel is fabbed and welded in, you will still need a shifter hole.
