Default Dash Harness grab?

(I searched and did not find a conclusive answer - and i need to know before the parts disappear)

I yanked an LQ4 and 4L80 over the weekend from a friends old van.

I took the entire engine harness, ECU and fusebox.

I left the dash harness due to the difficulty of removal.

I'd like to (initially at least) drop the entire combo and wiring into a G body and get it fired up.

I'm sure the VATS system would need to see some kind of key signal though, correct?

What should I do? Bypass it somehow electrically? I'd like to get it running, wont tune til later so I wont be able to get rid of it that way yet.

Do I need the cylinder/key? Chop the huge plug that goes to the fuse box and save only xxxx wires that would go to the key cyl?

Again, I'm sure the data is here but I imagine the van shell will be hitting the scrap yard quick, so I have limited time to go back and get whatever parts that might be recommended

Thank you all in advance!

Your best bet is to send the ECU out and get VATS disabled. If you need any pieces, I have a 2003 Express (LQ4/4L60e) that I am scrapping as well
