I don't have much experience with this, but it is well known that the ls2 intake doesn't flow as good as the ls6. I'm not 100% sure about this, but I didn't think the ls2 6.0 was out yet in 2002...you aren't talking about the 6.0 on the trucks are you? (the truck 6.0 wouldn't be an upgrade)

the 6.0 intake manifold is one of the best flowing intakes available, if the engine is in a truck keep the 6L manifold, if the engine is going in a car (f-body or vette) you might want to look into a Fast 90 instead.

You will have to fab up a throttle cable bracket holder on the intake somehow, cause you know the vette has no throttle cables, its all electronic.
