Ok, I'm back. Since I'm lazy and poor, I haven't started my swap yet. A few questions: We have the dash out of a 97 6 cyl, and it's going into my '88 with a 350. I have heard that you have to have the wiring harness out of a truck with a v-8 for it to work, is this true so I'll have to replace the wiring harness in the dash as well, or will I be fine?
Is the VSSC (Vehicle Speed Sensor Calibrator) the same as a DRAC? We can't find a "DRAC" in our '95 shop manual anywhere at all, but we can find a VSSC which appears to be in the same location as where y'all are saying the DRAC is (under the ECM).

And finally, if we replaced the entire HVAC unit (blower motor and housing, relays, etc.) with a 95-98 model, would it drop right in, as well as work with the 97 controls, or is there some other problem that we're going to run into?

Ok, thats all for now, thanks in advance.
