Well got alittle progress today. I got communication to and from the pcm and verified it being a 98. It didnt look like i was getting sensor feed back via hp tuners scan tool yet. Ill keep picking at it. The cluster has me flustered as far the the digital trip and odometer. Hopeing its vats related!

Wish I could help! I found your post while searching for help for myself! I am putting a 2000 LS1 into a 95 z-28. Got what I thought was a 99 harness turns out it is a 98. Was planning on using info from flame's swap on the harness but at that point realized that I had the 98 harness. This is the first swap/major automotive undertaking I have ever attempted so I'm usually lost.

What year pcm are you using?
