Default 1995 T/A LS swap won't start

Hi guys, how you all doing?
while ago decided to put an LS/M6 in my 1995 Trans/AM LT1/A4
Did all hardware engine and transmission , fuel pump assembly replaced, (not whole tank) because doner was a 1998.
since 1995 got the weird harness, i also replace whole thing even harness in doors, and before install dash back,
decided to connect every thing necessary to just fire up the engine make sure every thing work,
it won't start, when i turn the key an small relay or module not sure what to call it,
the one hoked up to left of passenger airbag bracket
begin to clicking very fast and nonstop, it stop when i try to start engine,
but engine doesn't do anything and it begin again to clicking
is it a possibility that security doesn't recognize key from Trans/AM?
if it is the case , would hot wire solve the problem? it is a weekend car so i planning to install an startup switch panel,
one more thing does the cable from automatic shifter to steering column have to do anything with it?

Appreciate any tip and advise
thank you in advance
Nader

so you're saying the engine doesn't even crank? the starter won't even engage?

Or does it crank and the engine just won't fire?

Not sure what could be making that noise near your passenger airbag. When I had my dash off I don't remember seeing anything there.

Hello @AdsoYo, Thanks for your respond,
it does absolutely nothing
i noticed that security lights stays on, so i replace steering column too,
to solve mismatch car key with VATs, now security is light is off,
but still nothing, checked wires to clutch pedal , sinds now is manual, seems alright too,
today i'm going to replace whole enginebay harness with doner car, see of that would help

You might get some better ideas from the conversions and hybrids section, since the car has been LS swapped.
