Bank 1 = side with cylinder 1. On the LS engines (L77), it is the left hand side of the engine, which counter-intuitively is the right hand side when you look at it with the bonnet up. (AKA passenger's side)

Another way to look at it is that bank 1 contains cylinder 1 while bank 2 contains cylinder 2.
Cylinders are numbers front to back as if you had folded a V8 into an inline 8 configuration.
Further more, if you look carefully at the engine block, you’ll notice that bank 1 is further towards the front of the block than bank 2. That’s because of how the conrods connect to the crank
So there is no need to get confused between driver side, passenger side, RHD or LHD depending on which country web site you look at…
