what else do i need to fire my LT1??

O.K. - a little history here. i have a 95 camaro that has been completely stripped. it has nothing on it. stock fuel tank and stearing colum is still in place. i have a 93 LT1 w/ engine harness and computer (for an auto). i have a complete (i think) 95 Z auto harness that came w/ the car (car was an auto).
this car is gonna be a TRACK ONLY ROAD RACE CAR! i want to know what are the bare minimums needed to get this car to run. i'm gonna have a push button start, toggle switch's for power, no key, no ABS, no nothing except what makes the car move forwards and backwards, stop and turn! will the engine harness be enough to make it run if power is applied to the correct pins @ the firewall connection? whats the best way to have the PCM flashed to a 6 speed or do i even need to worry about this?
also - i still want the ODB-1 SES light to function and i want to retain the diagnostic port to pull engine codes. i know i need to get some stuff deleted, like EGR, SMOG, ABS related crap, ect.
any info will be of help.
my backfround is w/ LS1 cars, so i know F-bodies, just not LT1's.

OK, yes, that is all you need, when you get it flashed, have VATS deleted, for the ALDL to be fuctional, you need to run some wires from the engine harness to the connector, same with the SES, the light gets power witht the key on, and the other wire goes tho the PCM

here some help, pic in this pic, C105 and C100 have the wires for the fan relays, ect., mighht also have a power feed or 2

C210, C220 and C230 have fuel pump relay control, power feeds and the SES and ALDL wires

and Here are the PCM pinouts and Engine wiring diagrams






all of this if from Shoeboxes website
