The LT1 T56 uses a pull-type clutch, and the input shaft is too short to adapt it to the mechanical linkage on an older Chevy.

The lt1 trans would be your best bet, I carry the conversion flywheel for the two piece rear main engines.... This will allow you to use the stock lt1 t56 hydraulics and clutch assembly.... Bolts right up and works smooth put one in my truck years ago....

The LS1 T56 is almost a direct bolt up, I had one behind my 327, I used the original muncie bellhousing with all the original linkage with a Mcleod adapter plate. I didnt have to change the flywheel or clutch, I just ordered a 26 spline disc instead of a 10. Here is the plate you need

If anyone actually needs one PM me I am selling mine.

now I bought a LT1/T56 out of a 1995 camaro a few years ago, isnt the flywheel used on the LT1's a lot thicker then the usualy flywheel found on a Gen 1 small block chevy?
I'd want to take some measurements of the Flywheel surface to back of the block on a gen 1 small block setup and compair to that of LT1, LS1.
From my memory, I think the LS1 will be a lot closer.
When I bought the T56 i sold it to a friend of mine who was putting it behind an LS1. We were lucky and found a guy here on LS1 tech that was going the other way (ls1 trans to LT1 engine).
We traded the inputshaft, bell housing, and trans front plates (holds bearing for input shaft and internal slave cylinder bolts to it)
