Default Will Z6 or A6 IACV work w/ Y8 intake?

I have an A6 block, soon to have a Z6 head (own head and z6 intake), and Id like to put a Y8 manual intake (WTB, like to upgrade from the Z6 that came w/ head) on it, and add my LS throttle body (alreday have). I know, what a cluster ----. I was wondering if anyone knew for sure if a A6 or a Z6 IACV will fit on a Y8. I have both,and I will be converting to OBD1 as soon as my harness comes in (running chipped P2 and If a Z6 IACV fits on a Y8, then Im all set. It looks like they are close from pics ive seen, but i want to make sure. Im almost positive the the A6 one is way off, but if anyone has good info on this, it would be nice. BTW, yes I searched. Thanks.

anyone else know anything about the Y8s? If anyone has one lying around, can you take a pic of the IACV holes on the back next to a ruler so I can kinda eyeball it with the Z6 IACV I have? Thanks for the one response, but I was kinda looking for some sort of picture proof, or atleast one more person to verify that it doesnt work. But if no one knows, oh well, I guess Ill stick w/ a Z6 intake. It cant be that much worse than a Y8 can it??

That's all i deal with all day sohc..look at the skunk 2 manifold, it fits 88-2000. you will see picture proof on the back of the manifold. there are 2 different bolt holes on the back.the z6 and the a6 iacv is the same because, a z6 manifold is a upgraded version of the a6 manifold. you can put one bolt on it and just permatex the seal real good.it wany leak if you do it right..

why dont you use a y8 iacv on the y8 manifold or is that the thing that you have to change to the y8 harness for because it has different plugs and wires running to it.

trying to get a bare manifold so I can reuse my old ----, and save money if possible. But if Id have to switch plugs I could do it, but if I dont have to I dont want to.

just get the y8 manifold and you will find out that they don't fit..yeah the plugs are the same, but they bolt up different.
