DBC and DBW question

If I buy a harness setup for DBW, will it be a problem if I use it for a DBC setup and just leave the wire unhooked and use a ecm that is a DBC unit? Seems to be fine in my mind, but thought I better ask people who knew better. TIA

For the sake of reducing confusion and easing installation, you will want to obtain a drive-by-cable wiring harness and PCM. One from a Camaro or truck will be the most straight-forward.

What he said. The DBW TB acts as an IAC, so keep the DBW stuff or go to a full DBC setup.

You can use your harness. You need to add an iac connector. And a tps connector. Its not hard but some things change. They don't directly swap.
