I don't understand the question.

This shows Y fittings ... but T fittings are a bit cheaper .

BTW the LT-1 cooling is "reverse flow."
So, looking at your diagram, the coolant routing from the output of the electrical water pump should go to the top fittings on the engine-block-adapters. The bottom fittings go to the thermostat housing.

Look at this diagram I posted a while back. Also don't forget to route heater hoses, or a bypass if you're not using the heater, so a small amount of coolant can circulate through the engine before the thermostat opens.

Can anyone help me locate the correct LT1 remote water pump kit for a 1993 Corvette LT1?
I ordered this kit
ICT Billet Gen V LT Remote Water Pump Mounting Plates Kit w/ -12AN Adapters LT1 L83 L86 551755-REM
But it's not the correct one and I can't find anything else.
Thank you .

I'm not aware of any Kits being available. You'll have to make your own adapters (see page 1 of this thread where I posted about it), or contact V8Archie and see if he has any available.

You could make some adapters if you can use CAD and get the adapter plates laser cut from some 1/2" AL or SS from somewhere like OSHcut. You would need to get the correct tap to adapt to the AN fittings, you could reuse the fittings from the kit you bought. I would undersize all the holes and drill them out to their final sizes. You can cut some gaskets from a sheet of gasket material.
Just an idea to make use of the kit you bought without too much time, effort, or money to invest into getting the correct adapter plates. If you need thicker than 1/2" material you will need to have parts machined instead.
I did some searching and found nothing off the shelf for your application.
