for the majority of the stuff yes, but it depends on exactly which bolts and stuff

Watch out for the header bolts in kits. Make sure the exhaust bolts are for headers or stock manifolds.
Some contain long bolts to work with stock intakes which when used with headers (thinner flange) will bottom out in the heads.

Intake bolts are the same as far as threads, but there are a few studs still required, alternator, 92-93's fuel line, Coolant line and EGR relay all use studs.

Throttle body, fuel rail are same, I think but not 100% sure valve cover bolts are the same.

Timing cover bolts are different.

What are you looking for?

I used a company in PA (Totally Stainless I think) that sells most of the bolts, they don't have a pure LT1 kit but if you have the specs on the bolts they carry most. there were a few bolts I had to shorten. Didn't find anything to replace the stock timing cover bolts, but all but a few acn be seen. I painted the intake stubs and nuts for the ones I needed that they didn't carry. One winter day when I'm bored I plan to zink coat them.

T.S. normally has a stand at the swap meet ( E-town this weekend ) if you want to go that route.
