LS6 Intake and 243 Head question
You need the centerbolt valvecovers WITH coil brackets...I'm pretty sure 98's have the coils attached directly to the valvecovers, 99+ has the coils on brackets that attach to the covers.

There's no real need to modify it, but you could upgrade your PCV system by adding the LS6 Valley Cover while you have everything apart.
Its just a matter of removing the knock sensors, existing valley cover and cutting a piece of the block in order to make space for the LS6 Valley Cover.
Its not really that difficult. I did mine back in November ('09) when I installed an LS6 intake and also added a RevXtreme Catchcan. The only trouble I ran into was I kept breaking cutting wheels on the Dremel while trimming the block. Not that big of a deal.
Here's the writeup I followed...

I did the 243 and ls6 intake swap awhile back and used the stock ls1 coolent line. Worked fine with no issues after tightening it down. I had the intake off awhile later and could see where the stock lines were barely touching some of the small ribs on the bottom of the intake, so i just took a drimmel and notched out the ribs were the line was running, fits 100% perfect now.
oh also I have a spare set of centerbolt valve covers with new gaskets if your interested; just give me a pm.

Yes, and if you are not going to use Corvette coil covers you can replace all of the bolts with the pointy ends on them, they are a real pain when trying to change plugs in the back etc. And there is a thread in here showing where to grind the casting webs off of the bottom of the LS6 intake if you want to keep the LS1 cooling tubes JUST GO SLOW ! I did mine in about an hour with a dremmel. came out great, you've seen the pics
