It seems like it should since both the AIR tube and the headers are from the same (01-04) year range. Maybe someone else who's actually done the swap can jump in.

I hear ya. I know the AIR fittings on different year LS1s are in slightly different locations on the headers and of course that means that the steel tubes have to be longer/shorter to reach. I'm fairly sure the check valve location is pretty much the same; it's just the tube length in question.
Anyone else?
