Default LS3 MAP sensor and LS1 wire harness???

I am going to be using a LS3 intake manifold and I was going to get a new screw in style LS3 map sensor from the dealership, but is it compatible with a LS1 wire harness?
Help is greatly appreciated.

No its not and even with the conversion harness It did not read the right readings. I used a ls1 map sensor plugged that front hole and used vacuum line off the back. No problems since. I speak from experience of chasing that problem down from people telling me it would work.

That's just what I'll do...Thank you very much!

EDIT: What did you use to plug the map sensor hole?

Will the LS3 MAP work with the LQ4 6.0L setup with L92 heads and LS3 intake?

Thanks in advance.

I glued my Ls1 sensor in the back and pluged off the front hole, quick and easy fix.

I used a bolt and put sealer on it. You cant even see it with the throttle bracket and linkage on.
