I am pretty sure all of them, may I ask why you are doing this? If your swapping in a lt1 rear, just swap the axles, its not hard to pull the axles out and swap everything over, lot easier then changing brake styles, I could make a write up for you on how to do it, its very easy.
Theres something about a drum in the ls1 parking brake that makes it different, I am not sure, I almost went through the opposite (lt1 to ls1) with a friend, so I am doing my best to help ya...

using Lt1 brakes in the rear....i assuming the parking brake cable goin to the rear is the same, there's no really reason that should be different, i'm guessing the cables that split off that are different, LS1's use a shoe inside the rotor, where as the LT1 looks like it applys pressure to the piston using a lever arm setup...i guess if i had a picture of a stock LT1 setup it would help alot...thanx
