Camaro/C10 Header Myth

Do 4th Gen LS1 camaro headers really work in a LS1 C10 swap? I hear stories about it being done, with only modification to the drivers side collector. Is this true? All opinions appreciated.

Oh yeah, my pacessters were free, so if they don't fit right away then I'll do like lsxyj and cut the old flanges off and weld new ones on to move them inwards 3/8-1/2 inch

Ok cool. I was looking at some F bod headers, and they have strange little tube coming out right by the flange on one side, is this part of smog stuff? Can they be removed?
