LT1s have lots of ticks, even the injectors can tick. How is the oil pressure? LT1 historically have low oil pressure, and some filters can actually cause a tick. If you not using a GM filter, switch to one next oil change.

Also check the exhaust, could be a leak at the join, and the 97s have that odd cat placement on the drivers side.

Also check under the hood in the dark, a bad wire can arc and tick and still not cause the car to run bad. I've seen this 2-3 times. The #3+5 and #6 cylinders like to burn wires over time.
