See what codes you are throwing with 98 Pcm...98 is not interchangeable with other years.

Did u check all of the fuses once u put the 98 pcm back in? You have a couple of ecm fuses and an engine sensor fuse as well. Also does the security lt stay on on the instrument cluster when the key is on? If so u may now have a body control module issue due to the vats system on our cars. Start with checking all of the fuses first.
