Default Timing chain question

I have a 2003 mn6 base. Does the block on this car come with a timing chain damper or is that only installed on the Zo6 cars?

Thank you all

And if it’s not, you could add one with a bracket like I did on my ‘99.

I remember my original 2000 LS1 block didn't have one of these,, and the block had no tapped holes,, either. Personally, I'm very surprised GM didn't install these OEM from '97 on. 😞 Oh well......
