A set of 36lb injectors will act like 42 lb injectors in a LS-1. It has to do with the higher pressure of the LS-1 fuel system. To answer your question, no, you can not just put them in and go. Your computer cannot compensate for a injector of that size. You would be blowing raw fuel out your tail pipes and wash out your cylinders in no time.

SO if yu got a Hypertech programer then will it work? But yu will need a better fuel pump right? My thing Is I wanted to do the same thing but I was going to replace and go with the 80mm throttle body bigger maf programmer and injectors.. would that work or not?

#36 injecters will work great and get a inline pump to help the get the fuel you need. You will have to have LS1 Edit done to ensure everything is correct. Then you will not need to worry about any other mods you do including NOS. The engine will only use what it needs.

This topic should really be in the fuel section.
Here is some short advice. If it aint broke, don’t fix it. Those injectors you are looking at may not be the right impedance for the LS1 PCM in the first place and that’s going to be a total waste of money for you.
When your tuner is starting to run out of fuel with your up and coming modifications then the first thing you should look at is the fuel pressure. If it maintains around 50-60psi the delivery system is fine. However if your injector pulse width is getting close to 17+ milliseconds then and only then it is time to move towards a larger injector. Work out which is the best injector for you after you see the problem.

Adding more fuel will not make more power, unless you've been modding. Modding enough to push the stockers to their limit. You can always buy them for when you do need them. But I wouldn't put them in on a stock motor. Why use more gas than you need to?
A Hypertech is great if you are relatively stock, maybe a couple of bolt-ons, but for anything more serious than that, get LS1-Edit or one of the other new programs, like the one from HPTuners.
