They wont bolt up... UNLESS... you replace the hood, front bumper & headlights etc
As far as any way to add them to your existing fender... a really good custom fiberglass guy could probably do it or modify a 98+ fender to fit, but you would have to talk to them to make sure.

Just change the entire front end. Or
I know the lower section of the fender is the same, right above the vents, as the lt1 fender. The top of the fener is curved different. I wanted to add vents to my lt1 fenders at one time, but just decided to change the entire front end.

I originally wanted the LS1 side intakes too, but seeing that my dad is a bodyman and I have quite a bit of experience in the shop we made C5 style side intakes in my 95 fenders/doors. I actually like the LT1 Trans Am front end lines better than the LS1, so that's why we decided to do this...Oh btw it is NOT very easy or cheap to do!

most economical thing would be to sell the LT1 and get an LS1 if you want the honest truth, but grndragon's vent work is an example of how great a custom job can turn out.
After giving it a little more thought... you could get donor LS1 style fenders with the vents, chop them right above the vents... and then chop your fenders in the same place and then fiberglass them back together. But you would want an experienced vette fiberglass type guy to tackle it for you.
