They are the same width,and everything but the steering shaft is located differnet on a ls1 than a lt1 rack(the steering wheel will be a off).I plan to switch racks and go to a ls1 steering shaft.

The LS1 rack points the steering shaft more to the rear, and more to the driver's side.
An LT1 rack will put the steering shaft into the #1 exhaust tube and interferes with the back of the alternator too. You can notch the plastic shield on the back of the alternator (and tweak the p/s lines a little too), but you can't easily fix the exhaust clearance problem. (been there...)
