You are fine with the stock LS1 throttle body. Port it while you have it off doing the intake swap.

The LS6 is designed for the stock tb size not a 90mm. A 90 won't fit the LS6 without modification.

The 90 mm TBs are for the FAST. However there is a sponser here (TPIS maybe) that modfies your ls6 intake to accept a larger TB. Not worth it on the ls6 intake imo too little to make a noticeable difference.
