The hardware is the same as 98 f-body, but the OS is different. You'll need to flash a corvette OS to have everything working.
However, those PCM's are very picky when you change OS, it's very easy to brick them.

99+ Fbody (98+ Corvette) are totally different.

I think the best way is to buy a Corvette PCM, or have it flashed by the dealer with a Tech2
