Would my power locks not working be tied to vats bypass or the module missing from the passenger kick panel? There is a green connector that plugs into nothing

you might want to subscribe to alldata so you can have access to both years wiring info. or pick up a shop manual for both years.

Just read the whole thread. Haven't checked the projects since the new site format. Now when somebody asks about the swap, just put a link to here and say: Are you willing to do all of this?

Just read your whole thread. I'm beyond jealous of your swap! lol Maybe one day when my Camaro isn't my daily driver, I'll attack it with a LT1 and 6-speed swap

Update: got my tunnel mount torque arm in and the pinion angle set. Heres a quick shot of the engine bay. Everything is done and working now, I just need to bleed the brakes!

Yep. The only thing not working right now is the power locks, due to the lack of the security box. And I also have to rewire my speakers, which is no big deal.

I'm in the process of removing the transmission because I fried the pump. So a built one will be going in along with a higher stall converter.
