Connect the corresponding wires together, for that, you will need the pinout diagrams.

Also, how come every hardtop LT1 I ever see is black?

it seems very simple, but on the 98 connector it has a pin for 5v ref Cavity, and TPS sensor signal cavity:E and the 97 doesnt for E: it has AIR pump relay, and F: power feed from acuators??

What we did was attach the individual wires together and just scrapped the factory connectors. Anything that was not used we just capped off. I don't know what the actuators are but we jut ignored anything that wasn't vital to run.
You can switch the wires around if you still want to use connectors though. Just make sure everything is labeled.

i might just re pin the connectors, i hate to just wire them together. but who knows how lazy ill be when i get there lol

Probably the same reason why every 93 I see is a hardtop, lol.

Agreed, I can't stand t-tops either.

I once owned a 93 black 6 speed hardtop! What are the chances? I hated that thing too!

I dont kno what the 5V ref is off the top of my head, but the TPS is for the Cruise Control in the LS Harness..

You got the idea, figure out what ones are needed and eliminate the ones that arent.

My 1995 LT1 Hardtop car was RED..hahahhahahaha

SHbox site is great for figuring everything out, take your time and you can handle it. I would say swap the fuel tank and fuel lines from the 98 into the 97. I did this swap for a friends 96 Z28 but the harness was from a 2001 LS1. It took me about 20 - 24 hours of wiring since it was my first time ever really doing the wiring. From what I remember 98 to 97 are very similar, the 5v reference I just left out and did not wire into anything. I re-pinned and personally that is my preferred way to go, plus I cleaned up all connections and terminals by soldering them and any crap wire I cut and cleaned up and soldered back together and heat shrunk it.

Just take your time with it and it is fairly easy, not to mention it is pretty fun.

I have some experience with wiring since i helped with the harness for my roomates rx7 5.3 swap. So im not too concerned i just am trying to plan ahead and know what to expect

ok so i just realized that the under hood harness is cut on my 97. what do you think i should do now? swap the body harness from my 98?

so my first dilemma i ran into is how should i run the wiring for my 98 fuel pump and tank in the 97 car? The connectors are alot different, the LT1 car only has one connector coming off the fuel pump. but the 98 LS1 tank i am using has 3 connectors coming off the tank, what should i do to make it work? the first pic is the LT1 car connector 2nd is from the 98 LS1 car

Leave the LT1 Fuel System alone.. Just put a good pump in and that's it..get the regulator and run the line to the LS Rails.

Common misconception with this swap..no need at all to **** with the fuel wiring..

Since you're under good harness is chopped and you need to swap that I would just do a full body harness swap so it all plugs in with no mods needed

Yep. Thats the route im headed. Ripped all the interior out of the 97 today, dropped the kmember, and swapped the LS1 rear brakes over. And still got a lot more work to do lol

Wow, you've got your hands full buddy! Your driveway looks like Sanford and Son and Smokey and the Bandit got into a major disagreement, lol. I have to ask, why would you swap over the LS1 rear brakes? Usually people swap to the LS1 front brakes and keep their rears.
