2. Throttle cable (I used Lokar)
3. Throttle cable bracket (bolts to intake manifold)

so you dont need to change anything in the computer ? just hook up the TPS and IAC wires to the PCM pins as needed?

I have a Throttle body, pedal and F-Body cable if you are interested. I pretty sure I have the bracket also. Make me an offer.

I don't know if they have to turn on different pins in the PCM or it only involves rewing to hook up the TPS and IAC.
My motor was a 2003 with drive by wire, but my pcm and harness was from a 2002 with cable throttle. I didn't have all the parts for fly by wire so I had the pcm flashed for conventional t-body.
