i pretty much used this info to do mine, except I used a bunch of nuts between the coils on the rod to hold the coils inplace. Otherwise they might kinda move a lil, since its hard to get the rod size perfect.
heres a crappy pic of mine for right now, I had more pics but they're on my other computer

I did this to my car also. I used a 2 inch section of 3/8" rubber fuel hose between the coil packs to keep them from vibrating/ moving around. I have pics at the link in my sig. Look for the car pics folder.

you have to get custom cut to fit plug wires for an LT1, i have heard that you can just use the normal LT! wires as well, but havent had anyone give me confermation on that.

Can't fit on a 98? 
I have a 98 and the coil relocation works just fine, all LS1 coils have the same mounting holes. Those are whats being used to tie em together. You can get a set of 99-02 valvecovers for a cleaner look, the 98 covers look awful when naked.
Here are a few pics of the TR/jay fisher coil relocation kit. Off the car to give you a good idea of what to buy if doing it yourself.
on the passenger side coil bracket/ the bracket is offset to clear the HVAC box underneath the cowl. I bought the TR kit, because it was just that a complete kit. I didn't have to mess with finding the right ends to complete the sparkplug wires and I didn't have to mess with all the cutting of spacers, brackets and threaded rod. Some will have the time to do that, but I was finishing an engine install so that took up all my time. The TR kit is real convienent.(sp?)

That is what I was saying.... I think that it look like shyt on the 98 valve covers The 99-02 valve covers will not fit on 98 heads... the 98's attach with like 8 bolts arond the lip of the cover.... while the 99-02's attach with 3 bolts down the center of the cover. If you have found valve covers for 98 heads let me know
