Visual difference between Ls1/Ls2

I was just curious what's the easiest way to visually tell the difference between a Ls2 from a Ls1? Minus the Throttle body.

The ls2 knock sensors are on the side of the block.

Cam Position Sensor. LS2 has it on the driver side of the timing cover, very easy to spot.

Like they said, knock sensors on side of block instead of under valley cover, cam position sensor will be in front cover instead of behind intake manifold at top of block, and if you can see that far (no front drive accessories) they are also cast with "6.0L" on the LS2's.
