Should be ok. You might want to look at a wiring diagram just to be safe. You'll need a maf sensor or the computer will probably throw a code. You'll have a 4 bolt vs. 2 as well. Your accessory belt will be routed differently as well, since the alternator sits on the driver's side. Mostly minor differences, nothing to get hung up on, though. The only thing I'm not really sure on is fuel lines, I don't remember if they come in at the same place or not.

Re: Will a 94 CORVETTE LT1

Short blocks usually don't include brackets, besides, I seriously doubt the Vette accessories/brackets would fit into a 4th gen.

Anyways, yes the short block should interchange pretty easily. You will definately need to reuse your throttlebody and your fuel rails/injectors since the Vette will have slightly larger injectors and the fuel line fittings are different. You can use the Vette injectors, but the prom will probably need to be changed accordingly. Don't worry about trying to hook up a MAF sensor, your SD computer won't read one anyway. You'll probably have to remove the driver side knock sensor on the Vette LT1 and plug the hole. Just look over everything and make sure it all matches up. That should be about it.

From what i recall a vettes accessory system will work on the front of a LT1 Fbody. As far as the wiring diagram goes look into the haynes manuls for the cars it may give you more info on the direct replacement. Do a search im sure there are people on here using the Vetts accessory setup.

If you are saying short block, there should be no concern at all. You just bolt all your stuff to it. Nothing to adapt. A short block is just the block and internals-not any heads, manifolds or accessory stuff.

There is a difference between the actual engine from the Vette/FBody?

take its heads off and run yours, that way there is no question if the intake will work. If you just strip it down and use your parts on it you should be fine. There will be kno performance loss using your parts.

All you parts will bolt on the Vette long block no problem. The only difference will be the Vette had four bolt mains and the F-body had 2 bolt. I'm assuming it dosn't have the intake. Your intake will work. You might check the oil pan as I don't know if they are the same or not.

Re: Will a 94 CORVETTE LT1

Here is all you need to do.

Take the coolant temp sensor from the rear pass side of the vette & swap it to the front dr. side.
Remove the dr. side knock sensor & replace with a plug.

Add all the camaro accessories to the front. Remember the balancer & hub are different as well.

Use your manifolds or headers & you are good to go.

Good luck.
