all the suspension in the back is the same. the rear end can be used, but it is 2 in wider on each side. subframes are different, no to sfc. the front suspension is completely different. cat backs can be used but they have different mounting locations

Rear shocks, LCAs, and torque arm (stock mounting as mentioned) will all work as well as entire rear end and springs. I have an LS1 rear with LS1 brakes in my car, and it looks nice with the tires kicked out 1 5/8" on each side (not past the fender flare though)
