The Z in the second position means it is a Corvette and does not have anything to do with the engine option. It is the 5th digit in any 1972 GM VIN that delineates the engine. This was new across the board for 1972. Wouldn't it have been nice in 1970 to sort out LS6 Chevelle authenticity? At any rate, in this case the L means, unequivocally, it is an LT1 car. Please refer to my previous post #503226 on this. The VIN was provided in an early post. This information is generally available in service manuals from that period or if this helps clear the confusion, here is the documentation from GM on 1972 VIN's:
