Default LT1 differences?

I recently bought a 93 Vette, and being unwilling to leave anything alone I'd like to build a 383 for it. I found a nice rebuildable LT-1 out of a 96 Trans-Am. But before I buy I was wondering if there are any differences that will screw me up. I'm mostly thinking in the intake area as far as hosing, hook ups stuff like that and any sensors that go in the block. I realize the opti is different, but this way I'll be able to use a vented one. I know the fuel rails diffrences as far as this one has a crossover, but I think I can use my old fuel rails too. Any advice/help would be appreciated.

I thought the corvette LT1 was a 2 bolt main as well.

Isn't it the same as the LT1 in the F body?

No, I forgot that one, Vettes do have 4 bolt blocks, F-bodies don't
