BTW you can re-use the ls1 coolant pipes if you're keeping the ls1 intake. You just have to do some minor bending on the the front, to bypass the pipe out of the ls6 valley cover.
Another tip: it's easy to crush/break the wire from the #2 knock sensor when you re-install the intake. (Ask me how I know ), due to the bump on the ls6 cover that's not there on the ls1 cover. You'll then get a knock sensor low voltage code, and have to take it apart all over again. So you'll need to be careful about wire routing.
And yet another tip: don't glue the knock sensor covers onto the vc with sealant like I did, it's about impossible to get them out again.
The holes in the new style vc are supposed to replace the pcv valve, but if you have the old style ls6 cover you can just keep your external valve in the hose loop (I sort of prefer that option).

One more thing to add to this thread that I learned.
Knock Sensor Wire Harness (KSWH) - you need to be careful on its placement. When I did the LS6 Intake install some how my KSWH was moved durning the seating and it got pinched causing the KSWH to fail. As you can see in the picture below this is not where it should be seating. After replacing the harness I used some high temp tape to hold it in place.

If you don't mind dremeling the block it's worth it.
Something I found though - I think the holes for the knock sensors might be slightly bigger in the ls6 vc. When I took the rubber covers out of my ls1 vc they were a tight fit, when I put them in the ls6 vc they were loose. I got a new knock sensor harness, which had some differences from my old one (from 2000), and the covers fit tightly in the ls6 vc. I threw away the ls1 vc too soon so I couldn't compare them directly.
