If yours is an LS2 then yes it is an easy swap. I believe you will have to swap your rails, I believe. If you have a newer C6 (LS3 based) it will not swap over.

If I remember correctly, the LS2 90mm intake will fit, but your stockn 75mm TB will not. You'll need to get a 90mm TB also. I also think you'll have to change fuel rails, but not 100% on that. Trial and error on that unless someone who knows says different.

It will bolt down. But it is NOT an upgrade!!! The LS2 intake is basically equivalent to the LS1.

Then you have to buy a drive by wire 90mm throttle body, an most likely a $200 jumper to make the 90mm work.

The fuel rails mounting points on the LS2 are different than the LS1, so you'll need either an LS2 fuel rail and injectors which also needs a tuner for the injector size from the 26ish you have to 34lb on the LS2.

There is no reason to do this, an LS6 intake would bolt right on and make more power than the LS2. It wouldn't require anything, your injectors, fuel rails, throttle body, and everything would just bolt back up.

Infact you might already have an LS6 intake with a 2002 Corvette, all 2001-2002 Camaros came with the LS6 intake, I dont see why they wouldnt put it on the Corvettes too.

Whats the part number on your intake???? You may be trying to downgrade!

The FAST 92mm intake will make more power than both the LS2 or LS6 but I think it requires firewall modifications on Vettes

No firewall modifications needed on his Vette! He will need LS2 TB and adapter harness though!
