Default pro touring noob

Just got a 2004 silverado 5.3 motor trans with complete wiring and computer what all can I remove from pcm? Do I have to reconfigure pcm to work in 81 camaro using what I have? Do not want to use electric fuel pedal. So I'm sure I'll need a new throttle body. I have very little knowledge with swapping but I have Bin reading please break it down the cheapest way I can make this motor and trans work while deleting all pcm pinout not needed

Easy go to LT1Swap.com site. Brendan has great info to do the harness yourself. The gas pedal is easy no big deal as long as you have the tach bow, short harness and pedal. You modify the pedal to fit your car. Cut/bend reconfigure it some. I have the set up in my 76 skylark works fine.

. If the truck has bin programmed will it be lost after digesting the harness?

Also will the computer have to be programmed to run correct with out the things I don't want or is just removing the wire from pcm all I need?

I like getting rid of crap for wire in harness. I gotten a 3/4 walmart sack of wire out. Thins it down alot and easier to trace things down later. Lt1Swap.com can reprogram pcm. Get rid of vats security and some smog stuff. I also put the 4 injectors together on 1 power feed wire each side, then tie the 2 together fuse them fuse panel. Just gets rid of 6 more wires.
