I believe that 97 and 98 had different style sensors and harness. You can use the newer style as replacement along with newer harness.

LS1 knock sensors are 1 wire and the LS2 knock sensors are 2 wire and on the side of the block, and will not work with a LS1 ECM, I don't know about the other engines you mentioned.
