Default C6 afm

Does my 2011 C6 (LS3) use the AFM (cylinder drop) system like my 2015 Sierra pick up with a 6.2. ?

C6 LS2 and LS3 blocks have their AFM oil passages plugged from the factory and no LOMA gizmo installed. The LS7 and LS9 don't even have the passages drilled in the first place. The C7 was the first Corvette with AFM.

the oil passages are not "plugged" the valley cover and o-rings stop the flow, but the passages are there and usable
