timing covers

How much do the timing covers differ from the vented and non vented opti? I'll need a new one for my rebuild and i'm using a non vented opti. Can I use any timing cover for an lt1? How about from an lt1 corvette??
Also, the the different covers effect the oil pans at all? because i'll need a new one of those too.

I'm not sure, haven't heard that they were, so....

IIRC, vettes were nonvented 92-93, f-bodys 93-94, b-bodys , as far as I know, never
