Default Vortech SC question

So I came across a good deal for a c6 a&a vortech kit for sale. It was installed on a 2006 ls2 c6. Would this kit fit my 98 coupe with stock ls1? If not, what is different?

Thank you

Is the bracket the only thing that wouldn't fit or are there other parts?

Although the brackets are different, I believe the C6 bracket and head unit will work on the C5, but not the other way around. The intercoolers are different for sure

Yup u can look at the C6 bracket and see that it will work. It appears that way anyway.
