Default Ls1 clutch question

So I have a vibration at around 2k rpm's and the clutch is one of the suspects after I get my new motor mounts and harmonic balancer installed. Anyway I was browsing eBay and looked at the Spec flywheel on there. It says its used with a ls1/ls6 clutch. There clutches then say they are to be used with a ls1/ls6 flywheel.

Now I have a twin disc McLeod from my 2000 SS Camaro that's just laying around with a billet flywheel. Does anyone have any info on doing this? What slave would I need? It would be awesome if this setup would work.

I did some more searching. Am I right in thinking that I just need a Ls7 slave and I should be good to go? I found this

It should work with the ls7 slave. Just make sure to measure.

My motor mounts fixed my vibration but thanks for the info. I will keep the clutch around for when the mystery clutch I have now fails. Its supposed to be a "stage 2" clutch of unknown origin but the car was also supposed to have new plugs and an oil change too. The only good sign is that it has a remote bleeder for the clutch.
