Default 1998 Camaro LS1/4L60E Swap - PNP Questions

This should be an easy one but I can't find an exact answer anywhere in the search.

1998 LS1 PCM/Camaro 4L60E. Right now I have the pnp wire from the pcm grounded and the engine starts up fine. But I would obviously like to get this working for safety purposes. I have a floor shift setup from a 98 corvette so I dont think I can get it from there. It sounds like I need to wire in a neutral safety switch on the transmission to get this to work. If that is true what application do I order it for?
I assume this will also help me with backup light wiring in the future too.

thanks

my trans



would this 1995-2003-GMC-Chevy-Truck switch fit?

better yet does anyone know what vehicles are interchangeable? My best bet might be to get one from the junkyard so I can grab the wiring harness too

Truck switch wont fit a car transmission, the shift shaft isn't long enough. What is this going in? You can just use the original switch from your car, then only one wire needs to be hooked up to the PCM on a 98 camaro harness, and it just needs to be grounded in park and neutral.

It is going into a 89 C1500 truck. I stripped the truck down over 10 years ago so none of the parts are left even if it did have one on the old trans. Good to know on the truck vs car transmission differences though, any ideas what cars will work?

An 89 chevy truck should ave it on the column. If I remember correctly, they have a backup light switch, but it isnt actually a neutral safety switch, I think those years the column physically wouldn't let the key turn in any position other than park or neutral. Is that the way yours is? If so, there will be two plugs on the switch, one for bu lights and the other one will be the one that makes contact in park and neutral.

I should have mentioned there isnt anything left of the truck except the shell really. Column is now a ididit and the shifter is a floor shifter from a C5 Corvette. It has wires coming out of it but I thought I remember reading they werent for P/N.
