How to wire up my LS1 coolant temp to LT1 dash?

Alright, I have the Coolant Temperature feed to instrument cluster wires connected @ C220, but I think the reding is different for both sensors so the LT1 gauge wont read it. The only thing I can think of is to run 2 coolant temperature sensors. The one on the driverside being the 98 coolant temp sensor and the pass side have a 96 LT1 coolant temp sensor. Would this work, wiring the 96 Sensor to the gauge only and the PCM using the 98 Sensor? How would I wire the 96 sensor up? Thanks for any input.

No idea.

Most people use the LS1 instrument panel when they use the LS1 computer.

I think most people use the 97+ dash with a 98+ cluster so it'll fit and read correctly. Sorry I'm of no other help.
