Axle swap, LS to Open

So the gears in my old rear end were shot. I bought a brand new used rear end. Until a couple days ago, I never knew my old rear end was a limited slip; I always thought it was an open differential. I hadn't even looked at the little metal tag up until 2 days ago when I pulled out the entire thing. My new rear end is an open diff.

I am currently in the process of getting the new rear end in, just a few things left to do. My question is, will I feel a difference while driving going from a limited slip to an open?

On a regular road you won't feel the difference. You would notice it if you were stuck or trying to do a burnout.
