so the ls1 doesn't have a provision to something similar to park/neutral switch like the automatic??? i knoe in my maxima...there's a park/neutral switch on the auto and a neutral switch at the clutch pedal for a manual...when in park or neutral the auto tranny sends a short between two pins indicating car is in park or neutral to start the car....and in manual when the clutch pedal is pressed...the switch in the back sends a short to two similar pins indicating to ecu the clutch is pressed and ok to start....

The clutch switch is supposedly used for some fuel/spark tweaks too, and makes it drive a little smoother. I don't have it hooked up on my car, but I'll get around to it once I get a cruise control module.

What 67rsss was saying is that the starter cutout for clutch switch or park/neutral is completely indepentent of the engine & PCM. Those are part of the body wiring harness. The PCM connection on the clutch switch on a 4th gen is separate terminal from the starter cutout wiring.

you would do something like:
+12V-----<ign switch>-----<clutch switch>-----startersolenoid
but... I haven't heard of anyone doing something like that on an older car--most of us have enough sense to put the car in neutral or press the clutch before hitting the starter.
