Hello:
The short answer is, it might work for you.
You will need to get information about both cars first. I know you said "LT1" but you did not say if you are describing the engine or an LT1 Corvette. Research to see whether GM changed the fuel or ignition systems from 1995 compared to 1996. Also you need to know, assuming you are discussing swapping a used unit from a donor vehicle, whether both vehicles have the same transmission or at least that both are manual or both are automatic. I am pretty sure GM made very little change to the 4L60 automatic, which was used both years in Camaros and other cars. They used the 4L80E in the heavier trucks. Depends if you are using whatever they were using for fuel delivery and ignition was installed at the factory. Once you change fuel injection or change the ignition you may have to use an aftermarket fuel and ignition controller, which usually is available from the manufacturer of the aftermarket ignition and fuel delivery system. The last thing to research is whether the warning lights in the recipient vehicle are the same as the donor vehicle. The controller may use different wire paths or have additional warning lights between those two years.
