Welcome to LS1tech!

As the '99 PCM won't support the VVT, you should delete it.

You'll also need to yank the 58x crank reluctor wheel and sensor and convert to 24x.

AND convert the cam gear to 1x AND you'll need the cable to extend the cam sensor plug in the harness from the rear to the front.

Don't forget to re-use the oil pressure sensor from the Firebird engine or get a new one from a GM parts counter (the aftermarket ones are crap and it's a bad location to mess with later on).

AND you'll need to convert to external knock sensors.

How's this easy LY6 swap looking?
