You need a special valve body that only the Comp.-G and GXP have. I am not too sure if the Monte/Impala has that valve body or not.

Thanks for the info on the shifters, but I have a steering wheel from the Malibu LTZ/Vette C-6 with the shifters. They are compatable with the GXP(atleast they have the same resistor values that the TMC needs to see for the upshift and down shift). So I am good on that side of the project. I will just hook it up and see what happens if there are no mechanical limitations to it?

You'll need a Comp-G or GXP PCM and tranny in order to make it function like it should. They are tuned differently and the wiring is different in them from a traditional, but if you have the GXP driveline you should be alright, but you'll need a PCM to make it work.
