Default Seat Rails & Compatibility Question

Guys..I just did a full interior conversion from Light Oak to Red/Black....In the process I decided I want to do away with the power seats all together...The Red ones I picked up are out of a C5 Z06...The passenger side is already manual...Drivers side is power...Now I already searched and found that I can pick up another passenger side manual track...However I would have to cut off the seatbelt receiver ear and weld it to the other side on the track....I'd rather avoid that..So my question is this...I've found a few threads saying that C6 seat tracks bolt right up to C5 seats...And that the C6 seat tracks have the seatbelt receiver ears on both sides of the track...Will a manual passenger side seat mount onto a C5 drivers seat?...Want to make sure before I buy one..Thanks..

Yes the c6 tracks will work I did this on my driver's seat to save a little weight, I didn't like how it made the bottom seat part flat so put some washers between the seat and front frame and one under front mounting bolts to raise the front section up
