96 to 98+ camaro dash conversion?

I am converting over to an LS1 ECM (EFI connection 24x system). I am curious if this will eliminate the need for wiring changes, specifically the digital odometer? This would probably mean I would have to go with a LS1 cluster. This is probably not worth it.
And does anyone have a 97 camaro dash? I have a feeling this is going to be like trying to find a 96-97 SLP SS hood.

Any 97+ dash will work. The only thing you need specific is a 97 Camaro cluster, or you can use a 94-97 Pontiac cluster and get a different overlay from 6LE for it so it matches. I picked up 96 Formula cluster for my car.

the harness conversion to the Ls1 pcm still will not allow the 98 -02 cluster to work. 97 cluster ONLY!
the plug going to the cluster will need to be changed to a plug from a BIRD or a 97 up camaro..you will have to relocate the trunk switch, fog lamp switch and the hvac harness needs to be extended i did my swap in just a few hours..
www.lkqonline.com had the 97 cluster at a very reasonable price.

Honestly it is not that bad. If you have never torn into a dash take your time. I will post up pics as I go along. I have started and have a few pics, I just can't do much right now as I am temporarily disabled.

OP the reason for the wiring change with the EFI 24x system is the difference inconnectors and functions of the LSx pcm. I don't think it has anything to do with the gauge cluster, I have their complete setup including the custom engine wiring harness and the billet timing cover etc as soon as I get a few things worked out my new forged 383 will be going into my 94 Z28.
