Without quite a bit of changes a 99+ harness will not work in a 98. If you manage to get it running you will also find that you have no gauges at all. Your also going to have to delete some PCM codes.
I can get you the pin outs for the 99+ connectors but your gonna need to find the pinouts for the 98 so you can make the necesaary changes. When I did my LS1 swap I got Helms manuals for 1994 (my car) and 2002 (the engine I was swapping in), this gave me all the info I needed to make the swap.
