Unhappy HELP: Camaro LT1 M6 to LS1 A4 Trans Crossmember Question

(I also posted this in the coverisons and hybrids section, but I am not getting the answer very fast so I figured it couldn't hurt to have it here too)

OK, well I have been searching around for about an hour and I haven't found my answer yet. Now one it hasn't been poster (Highly Doubt It) or it's right underneath my nose and I just can't see it.

Situation:
I am putting an LS1/4L60E into my 94 Z28 that was a M6 originally and I got the engine k-member bolted in, but when I went to bolt the trans member the bolt holes didn't line up on the drivers side. It is about 2"-3" to far back.

I have read that if you are doing a LT1 M6 to LS1 M6 swap then you are OK to use the LT1 K-member. I also read that for the LT1 A4 to LS1 A4 swap they moved the bolts holes for the LS1 from the LT1. So you can just weld a tab on the LT1 trans member and it will work.

BUT what I did not find was if you are going from a LT1 M6 to LS1 A4 which trans member to use or what you have to do...

My only thought last night while I was sleeping was if the bolt holes on the LT1 body for the M6 and A4 trans crossmembers are in the same postions then I could just get a LT1 A4 trans crossmember and weld on a tab.

If you guys could help me out that would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance!!

That's what I was thinking to I just wanted some confirmation before I went and bought something I don't need.

No, I have a LS1 A4 cross member.
