stock replacement engine question 02' trans am.....

was just wondering if a 99-04 corvette ls1 will fit with no problems or modifications into my 02 trans am ? i just find way more of these year vette engines than trans am or camaro.
with a 99 or 00 will the ls1 manifold vs. the ls6 throw a code or hamper anything ? just doing a pull out/drop in - no upgrades or anything.

It's like for like. Why do you even ask unless you know NOTHING about what you are dealing with??

I'm not in the know enough about tuning myself, but if he's really not swapping parts, any risk the 26 vs 28 pound injectors might throw off the tune a bit?

I may be mistaken, but isn't the vette ls6 intake missing the throttle cable bracket bolt holes? I've seen a few just drill them and and add nuts behind to hold it, since even drilled it's still missing the brass inserts.
