unbolt the bottom plate from the TB that has the coolant and IAC passages and swap it for the stock one on your newer TB.

Yes, the TPI TPS will work with the LT1 PCM.

I got out of work at 3am and was half asleep when I posted........
I have a 58mm aftermarket TB that came off a 93 car and had a different IAC and I just posted the solution I used for that when I saw a question about an earlier TB on the later motor. maybe I should have slept before posting.
