Not exactly. To put LT1 brakes on a LS1 rear, you will definitely need the mounting plates in addition to the obvious stuff. Also LT1 axles are either 1/8" longer or shorter (dont remember which) compared to the LS1 axles but some folks have still made it work by shimming.
I hope you realize that the LS1 rear brakes in terms of relibility and performance, especially the parking brake, are far superior to the LT1 rear brake. I would just use a 16" rim if it were me.
