To find out without removal....
Look for the part number close to where the manifold meets the head.
Part numbers:
The 97-00 'Vette LS1 is 12556333.
The 2001-2004 Corvette LS6 is 12573572.
The 2001-2002 F-body LS6 (identical to 'Vette but diff part #) is 12561184.

This is "on" my car now - 12556333
This is on my garage shelf - 12561184
Looks like I'll be swapping this "12561184" intake when I do my cam install.

Good deal.
One thing to keep in mind is that the pre-'01 ls1 engine has a coolant line that runs from the back of the heads (T'd together) to the front where they are T'd from passenger to drivers side.
You will need to make a decision, here are your choices:
1) Swap the curerent coolant line for the '01+ set up (not expensive)
2) Leave your current line in place, and grind a little groove in the webbing on the underside of your LS6 (won't hurt the intake) so the intake can be bolted down.
