Default c6/c5 drivetrain interchangeability?

What parts from a c5 will interchange with a c6 as far as rear diffferental, and manual transmission. I know the torque tubes are different lengths. I have a 2006 rear suspension minus diff and tranny, and am trying to explore my options.

Thanks in advance.

Matt

I'm curious about this also. I heard that the C5 Z06 Diff is interchangeable with the 05 C6 Diff and would be a better swap than going 06 C6 Diff. Let me know what you find out.
