Default LS1 / LS6 Intake need help

i own a 99 T/A with a stock intake. P/N 12560688. I just recieved an intake and throttle body from a guy down here, the intake P/N is 12573572. Is this an LS6 intake? The base is flat if that helps, my stock has a hump. Also the other intake has a hole after the throttle body mount and i dont know how i can fill it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, i just bought my car 3 months ago and its my first LS based motor.

Look where the red circle on my head is, that is where you'll see the casting #.

If its got the 243's I would go for it and maybe throw another couple hundred at them for a port/polish.
