ls1 swap transmission question

Hey everyone I was looking to do a ls1 swap into my 87 camaro lt with the 2.8L standard transmission in it.
I was wondering if i can still use my transmission with the ls motor provided i get a new bellhousing?
Any info would be much appreciated

No. That's a bastard transmission because its bellhousing bolt pattern is different than sbc/LS.
