I believe a regular 98-02 LS1 T56 would bolt up the same but then you have the added cost of modifying it for a mechanical speedo drive if you aren't using an electronic speedometer.

On the olds we had to have a custom pilot bushing made because the auto crankshafts are different than the manuals. Not sure if Pontiac is similar in this regard.

You will need to modify/rebuild your trans tunnel as well.
Thanks, I'm not worried about the speedo, because I am running a Speed-Hut GPS speedo. I am running a stroked kit in my engine, so I bet the crank will go either way. I can get a bearing, I'm not worried about that.
