96 caprice LT1 into 86 trans am hey guys im looking at an 86 ta with a caprice lt1/4l60e installed. the complete caprice engine/trans harness is included, along with the computer. also still has the trans am harness. so the actual motor swap is already done. now its just finishing touches.
after plugging up all the sensors and the whole harness onto the engine and trans, and hooking it up to the caprice ECU, what else would i have to handle?
like what about all the electric things on the car like the lights fuel pump ignition and key... im not very experienced with wiring although im not totally clueless. i can wire up a stereo and an afc neo... but this might be harder. oh and ive done a few 4 cyl swaps and plugged up harnesses and all that. but this might be different because its going from old school to new school and i might need to do more than i can handle.
if anyone can help me out with some insight / suggestions it would be awesome.
thanks

im not at all worried about tuning it yet... once i get some ported aluminum heads and a cam in it i would worry about tuning. but i dont want to do anything else beside get it running and driving properly 1st.
