Default going from DBW to DBC

I have an 02 vette motor that has a DBW TB and I don't want to bother getting a pedal and all the other **** to make that work. I want to run a cable to a cable throttle body. Also I found a wire harness for cheap from a 98 T/A. What all do I have to change in order to do this? I searched a lot but can't find an exact answer. Thanks.

You'll need a drive-by-cable throttle body, the appropriate throttle pedal and cable. Plus the PCM will have to be reprogrammed to remove the DBW stuff and add the DBC data.

I need a TAC (Throttle Actuator Control Module) GM Part # 12578953, if you have one and I have a 75mm TBC throttle body.
