I need a few more small things and I will have everything. However the heating and air are going to require a little work. Enjoy.

What did you do with your 99 body harness, engine harness, gauges, and PCM?
Do you want to sell them?

Looking forward to the end result. Are you using your 99 metal tank and evap system?

I have not gotten to the evap system yet. I am not sure what to do short of swaping everything from the sunfire. Am looking forward to some good advise. Well, I got pissed off and cut the ld9 body harness. But my buddy Ben has one. As far as the ecu I have it but I think the bcm and Cluster are sold.

IT IS A GOOD THING I HAVE A MAN CAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


IT'S SITTING IN IT'S NEW HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

95-99 do not have a Body Control Module (BCM). Only 2000-05 cars do. The 95-99 cars have a Convenience Centre module on the passenger side behind the dash, on the A-pillar, that does the same thing except for running the gauges.

The box in the spot behind the dash on the driver's side A-pillar... (with the "ETS" sticker on it) is the ABS module. And ABS is part of the brake master cylinder assembly on the 2000+ cars.

Wow, good job. I was wondering at just how hard it would be to do a auto to manual swap. Im seriously considering putting the 5 speed into my vert bc the auto is just way to sluggish, and its prolly going to go out soon anyways. So idk, but good job man, keep up the awsome work. Put up some pics of the car done and running!!!
