There is no 'specifics' which nitrous could or could not be applied to another vehicle. A kit will merely come with x amount of feet of braided line, one or two solenoids, couple relays, some x amount of wire, a tank, brackets etc.
Its basics... tank, lines, electronics, nozzles.

Unless its a plate kit it will work fine, but just make sure you follow the recommended jet sizing for your vehicle(which still may be off). They are different for some vehicles.

Im already nervous for the engine -
Is it a wet or dry kit, you will have to be intuitive and make your own injection nozzle setup in the intake pipe or manifold.
Are you going to use a RPM switch? - you better be
a fpr hobbs switch to open when fuel pressure drops.
Full throttle trigger
These are just a few implemented pieces one must consider.
I like to make the nitrous system dummy proof (as in remove any human error). Once in place, nothing will go wrong, except for a bad tune.

Plates work fine just not one off an LT1 kit. Also the plates on our cars push the intake closer to the radiator so you may have to trim up the intake tubing.
