Other vendors show 1997-2000 are the same and 2001-2002 are the same. Please advise.

I read that the 99-01 are the same gasket. The head casting numbers are #241 but wasn't the blocks changed mid year to the LS6 block? Wouldn't this make a difference? If the heads are identicle from '99-'03 then the difference has to be the block. If the heads changed in '02 then it would be a different casting number. So if I have #241 heads and LS6 block, wouldn't I need the newer style head gaskets???

as far as head gaskets are concerned, the block makes no difference. You need to look at your heads, if they have the notch in the deck, then you need the earlier gasket, if not, then you need the later gasket.
