Quick oil pan question

Just a quick question. I'm building a turbo 5.3L and I'm wondering will the LS7 oilpan/pump work on this block? It looks like it should bolt up fine just from the pictures that I've seen online of the pan. Just thinking that the oil passages to and from the pump might be different on the LS7 block just for the dry sump set up?

I'm asking because I like the idea of a dry sump system other then the chance of the belt breaking or coming off of a normal set up. I really like that it uses a "stock type" pump with no belt to break.

This is not just a "remove the oil pan" job. In order to access the aforementioned bolts, AND in order to remove the oil pan, I had to remove: 1) 3 parts of the transmission covering and support; 2) disconnect the gear shifter (at the transmission, of course); and 3) remove a thin metal transmission shield.
