I haven't made it to this step yet in my project. You've probably already found these online, but these are some of the links I've saved relating to Fixed vs Variable AC Compressors:

From what I can tell using variable compressor will require using the donor HVAC module. This will take more effort than I want to put into it so I will try removing the middle 2 o rings to convert it to always pump 100% and just cycle the clutch.

The intake and covers were an eBay find. This really took some altitude off the engine that I may or may not need

It runs!!!!!!
I've just about got my harness and attached under hood relay/fuse panel work done. Keep in mind the engine is just sitting loose on a low flat cart. I connected the ecm and then the battery to test out my work. I turn the key to the run position and the throttle body calibrates itself as it should. I could not hold back testing further. I got some fuel in it, turn the key to start and it fires right up almost turning over and falling off the table. I only let it run a couple seconds but that was long enough to know we are good on the harness. Now I just need to get the harness taped up and covered.

This is and awesome thread. I'm about done with my harness and was also checking it and an not with my notes but I am trying to understand the fuel pump. I thought I had the correct wire but at key on I was checking for voltage and nothing... So you know which wire I need or is it also in the tune? I saw there are some settings there as well. I think I'm close.
Thanks

No fuel module just hoping to have a signal that will switch the relay. My gen 3 swap just sends a signal so it's just on but this new gen 5 it seems different. I'm out this weekend so I hope to get on it soon I'm close I believe

I will use a LS corvette fuel filter regulator. IIRC these hold 58PSI which is short of the 80psi that the factory pumps supply. I'm hoping that the in tank pump is more of a lift pump to supply the mechanical high pressure pump for DI.
I'm hung up right now getting the data link connector wiring working right. everything seems wired correct but I'm getting an error on my scan tool. Any ideas here?

After triple checking all my pinouts and still getting an error message on my scan tool, I went ahead and plugged in my hptuners unit just to see and it did work. I guess my 10 year old scan tool is too old to read the 2015 Ecm. I had held off plugging in the hpt unit until everything checked out
