Default LT1 harness swap ?

a friend of mine bought a 95 camaro lt1 from a guy and he said the harness is from a buick roadmaster. how can i tell if the harness/ecm is obd1 or obd2? i am gm certified on obd2. my internet searches dont get much info. this swap is going into a 72 blazer with t-350 trans. i can modify the harness and tune the ecm with my efilive(if obd2 with later aldl connector. i havent looked at his buy but let me know.

What year Roadmaster?

Does the harness have 4 oxygen sensor plugs or two?
Does it have a cps sensor plug?

'94 roadmaster is OBD1. PCM is OBD1 also.

Even if you did swap to a OBD2 wire harness and PCM, I was unaware that EFILive had software available that was compatible with LT1 OBD2 PCM's.

You could always get a custom wire harness made to utilize the LS1 PCM and coil packs. Then you could tune it with your software.

Correct. You have to use a OBD1 scnner, like this:
