Can I swap PCM's in an 05 GTO by Disabling VATS w. EFIlive? I see that I have a disable VATS option w. efi live, but will that allow me to swap PCM's? Or is there another security feature that is a Tech II thing only?

you will have to disable vats at least. on my 2006 GTO, just reflashing the ecm on the bench with a tech 2 required me to disable vats with efilive to allow the vehicle to run. (by applying the vats patch) after the ecm was put back into the vehicle.
once I had access to my laptop, with TIS2000 and a tech 2, I was able to do the ECM-BCM and PIM module relearn procedures, and not need to have vats bypassed. This must all be done in "passthrough" with a tech 2 to allow it to work correctly.
I am unsure if you will have any other security issues, but I do not believe you will. Since I was getting all of the error warnings on the IC, but the vehicle still ran with the vats patch applied.
