yes, the lines will work but the banjo bolts will not.

Everything worked perfectly with my conversion of the fronts...... the only thing that didnt work was the bracket from the Ls1 to the Lt1 they are a bit different......

I took the brackets completely off, ziptied the lines to the cradle through the hole where the bracket was.

I agree the LT1 lines will work, but the second time around when I replaced my Earl's lines with Wilwood stainless lines I used the LS1 line. You can see the line bracket in chrome on the K-member, if you use the LT1 bracket just flip it to the other side and put it at a 45 degree angle and you will be fine. This only applies if your running a coilover up front. If you use the a strut style front then leave the brackets on the correct sides. I'm running the LS1 spindles and LS1 Wilwood big brake kit on my 96 WS6 and I chose the LS1 line in the end and it has worked fine.
