Default Plate swap question

I would like to take the kit off of my Ls2 and put it on my Ls1. My question is will it work with the size difference in throttle bodies? My Ls1 has a 80mm BBK and my Ls2 is stock(90mm?). It's a N2O Outlet plate.I know it's not optimal but will it work until I can upgrade my intake? Which is also a BBK SSI. Thanks for any help and or advise.

I wanna say no because of the different bolt patterns between throttle bodies (and intakes): 3-bolt on the LS1 style and 4-bolt on the LS2 style. I saw a thread in Gen-III a couple months ago where someone chopped the snout off his BBK SSI intake and had an LS2 style throttle body flange welded on... perhaps if you went that route?
