The f-body wiring harness is simple to make work stand alone...hook up about 5 pink wires and two orange wires and engine will run (with vats removed from pcm)

You can save a lot of money using stock harness.

Do a search, should be able to find schematics and connector pin outs...if not let me know the exact year and I can post some...

just so you know, the 4.8,5.3,6.0L truck harness will work also if you get a truck without electric throttle and they are much cheaper, most stock ls1 harness's go for over $150-200+,, i have found truck harness's for as cheap as $40, we used a truck harness in my brothers 6.0L malibu with no problems, it also will plug into a ls1 pcm or the truck pcm,
