Default 97 LT1 Open Loop

I just need to run the engine on a stand. Once I plumb up the fuel lines, what is the minimum wiring to get it to run open loop?

I appreciate your expertise.

Not sure how you'll do this on a basic engine stand without the full engine harness hooked up, if you did get it all hooked up it would only run Open Loop until it warmed up, Closed Loop to read precat 02's for live fuel tuning, blah blah blah. Why not just bring it to a shop that has an engine dyno, most have the necessary extensions/hookups & everything you'd need. Otherwise good luck trying to extend your existing harness over to an engine stand.

Sorry... my question didn't give enough background. I was just trying to keep it simple. The fourth gen is gone. I have the LT1 and T56 on a first gen subframe. I just want to fire it off and let it idle for a few minutes. I have the complete harnesses from the fourth gen (although I'll probably use a Painless harness later. I just wandered what it would take to get it to run.
