Default Swapping LS1 into BMW 325 -- PCM questions

Hey swapper community:

We're almost done with out LS1-E30 engine swap, and are about to do the wiring / PCM integration to the host car. We have an LS1 & harness from a '99 Camaro Z28, and a PCM from a '00 Camaro SS. We are going to re-flash the PCM to delete the AIR and EGR. We want to keep the Evap. What about the fuel tank pressure sensor (used to cycle the Evap vent and purge valves) -- can we delete the pressure sensor from the PCM, but still vent and purge the Evap can?

We are going to make a little VATS eliminator module, as shown elsewhere on this great forum.

Garret & Steve doing E30-LS1 aka 357is

As far as I know you can delete the fuel tank pressure sensor and still keep the EVAP purge functioning. Thats the way I did it on my car and it seems to function...although I don`t have any way of actually checking that it is purging the canister.
