Default Ls7 Cluth Question

I currently have the S.L.P. clutch kit, see below. The clutch is now bad and i was wondering if any one knew weather or not I could use the billet steel flywheel it came with, with a new Ls7 clutch & pressure plate kit.

Here is what I got:
Clutch Package, 1998-02 LS1 Camaro/Firebird/1997-04 C5 Corvette/2004 GTO Heavy-Duty

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This high-performance clutch package is compatible with any 1997-04 LS1-/LS6-powered Camaro, Firebird, GTO, or Corvette (manual transmission only). It comprises an LS6-style OEM clutch disc and self-adjusting pressure plate (introduced on the 2001 Z06 Corvette and used in all LS1/LS6 applications starting in 2002) mated to an SLP billet steel flywheel. In addition to greatly enhanced strength, this flywheel offers an eight-pound weight savings over the factory unit. The LS6-style pressure plate offers 20% more clamping force than a stock pre-2002 piece, and the disc features a heavy-duty spline. Your engine will rev faster, and your 1/4-mile times will drop noticeably. Shipped complete with installation instructions and new crankshaft pilot bearing.

NOTE: 2001 Z06 Corvettes and all 2002-up LS1/LS6 vehicles were factory equipped with the same clutch and pressure plate included with this package. To upgrade one of these vehicles, simply install SLP's billet flywheel (#60037

^^agreed. For the LS7 pressure plate/disk to work in a f-body you must either buy a LS2 flywheel to go with it or get the complete kit.
