Default make lt1 intake work on my ls1

Long story short i crashed my 99z and ended up puttin a 94 front end on. Hood was last to go on and my dumbass didnt realize lid wouldnt fit. Done some research and dont wana hackup my car or spend cash on a crazy cowl.
How can i mount up a lt1 style cai on the ls1? Hate to lose performance of lid but its only probly gona stay a header/bolt on car. Im pushin 400 right now with what i got but im just guesin. Any ideas?

buy spectre tubing, couplers, and a filter at Vatozone, and get to fitting one together.
