LT1 compared to L79

Had innocent question: Are the LT1 and L79 motors close enough in idle behavior that if you could get an auto with one (LT1=yes?), why not the other. I heard a L79 could never keep an automatic happy, so thats why one was never offered, but is an LT1 that much different really at idle in gear? same HP with just a little more displacement?
curious on how different they really are.
