Of course someone could always have fitted the F-Body accessories on to a Vette engine
Check the 3 letter engine code stamped at front of block.
If the code is not ZXA it is not from a '96 ( if it is ZXD , you got lucky because that is a LT4)
If the code does not start with Z then it is not a Corvette engine at all
