With the lt230, its mounted on one side the chassis then attached to the gearbox which as the mount for the otherside. With length of the t56 and shaft, Moving the transfer case back that would be an issue i think. At the moment mine is very close to needing the rear floor pan modified.
Look at the back of the transfer in this pic, it has no hand brake on it either. there was a cross remember but we moved it back and made new floor pan mounts, heres the original which yours would no doubt have -
keeping in mind that you need space to get your hand brake drum on and off and room for the uni and flange you would start running out of room pretty quick if it went back much further, i think mine is back around 4-5in from standard.

Cal, You have your engine hard up against the fire wall at the back don't you. How much room do you have between the front of the motor and the Radiator? Is there much room for forward movement?

It is easy to convert the LT230 t-case to a divorced setup if you have the room:

Mine has a reasonable gap between the back of the heads and the firewall, its in a good spot really. I could imagine you would be able to move it forward that much without modifiying how the radiator sits and maybe notching the front cross member. I cant find any good shots showing how close it is but here are a few without the thermo's in there...

Thanks for the pics boys. Looks like i have some measuring to do.
Cal, the ls1 looks like it sits so low in comparison to the tdi when looking at the side view. It looks like it sits lower than the radiator, which is a good thing.

nice PDF 
But is the commodore T56 the same as a camaro? Looking around there are alot of variants with different bellhousings, ratios, shifter positions, rear extension housings etc etc
Yes the motor sits low, i tried to get it in roughly the same spot as the old rover motor i also wanted to get it low enough to run the high mount alternator and some extra room if i change the intake setup or add a super charger in future
