F-body LS1 heads and C5 heads are the same.

Here are the differences:

97 - 98 use a perimeter valve cover bolt design. Thus requiring perimeter bolt valve covers and coil brackets specific to that style.

99+ use center bolt valve covers with coil brackets specifc to that style.

Otherwise all LS1 heads are identical.
