I dont see why it wouldnt work..as far as running the 1997 Gauges with the LS1 Swap. All the wires are there..just run them to the proper places in the Dash Harness Connectors (C-210, 220, 230) and dont mess with the Fuel Gauge, that comes from the Body Wiring.

I guess I should start building these things..
