an LT1 is a 5.7L/350 cid
an L99 is a 4.3L/267(?) cid
think my LT1's have 327 cast into the blocks, not sure if that helps any or not
can you get access to the car it came from? the under hood and or door/trim tags will tell you which it is

This may help:
i think the L99's have 4.3 casted on the block by the bellhousing flange.
A 4.3 L version of the LT1, designated the L99, was introduced in 1994 for the Chevrolet Caprice. It was externally identical to the LT1, but the bore was reduced to 3.736" and the stroke to 3.00" (similar to the late sixties Chevrolet 302 used in the first-generation Camaro Z28s). The pistons used in the L99 were the same as the ones used in the Vortec 5000 with the use of 5.94" connecting rods.
Like the LT1, it features sequential fuel injection, reverse cooling, and an optical crank position sensor. Output is 200 hp and 245 ft.lbf.
Due to its smaller displacement, it provides better fuel economy over the 5.7L LT1.
