The IAC/Coolant part? Or the Throttle Plates (the discs inside the throttle bore to regulate airflow)?

Ahh the name plate, gotcha. Wish I still had the one hanging on the wall. My TPI's was pretty much just flat aside from something sticking out, I think it was a centering pin of sorts. I would assume flat would be alright, unless the LT1 is different underneath.

I have a flat one, and my car runs fine with it. Just get a new gasket.
