You would have to get the harness from a 2010 or newer camaro.

If you get the harness remember that you are stuck to the way it is routed. That harness and ecm will work for your application. You will need to extend the MAP connector.

If it won't cost extra then you might as well. Having extra wiring and connectors on hand couldn't hurt. Never know what you might down the line.

Could resell the harness + ECM for that price or more.

My vote is fork over the $200

Take every piece of harness,connector,tube,fitting,bracket,fastener that they will give you for the cash that you bring,it is always cheaper and easier to sell off,trade or scrap what you don't need than chasing after it later.

My advice ditch the VVT that means the harness and ECM. 200 for that ? ha

If you're putting in a Nova. All those wires is going to look very bad.

You can purchase a VVT - Delete kit for cheap. Find a LS3 intake for super cheap. Get a harness anywhere for less than 375.00 And ECM's are nickels meaning they are everywhere.

Do this and you could be pushing 500hp maybe 550hp with the right cam.

Just my advice..... I don't think you'd be happy with the look of a LY6 with all those wires... in the long run. Better to get it over with now.

I am keeping the VVT on my L92. As said above I would get it and everything else you can grab.
