Default How to tell if its a LS1 or LS2?

I heard that in 2002 the Trans Am came with either the LS1 or LS2 engine, true? And if so, how do you tell?
I have a 02 T/A and want to get injectors for it and need to know as these engines take different injectors lengths.
Thanks for any help/

Its funny that someone you heard that from would even say that considering it wasnt even put in any GM car until the 05 model year.

The 98-02 Camaro/Trans Am all come with LS1 engines. You have a LS6 Intake and possibly a LS6 block which doesnt really mean squat, maybe that was the confusion.
