Yes, the 98 you have came with perimiter valve covers, the coils bolted to the cover itself,, however when you change to the centerbolt covers, you have to use a bracket, to mount the coils on, and that bracket mounts to the valve cover . put the coils on the bracket before putting it on the valve cover...

The 98 ls1 coils will fit on the newer brackets, You just have to flip one of them around.
