I'm 95% sure they are the same. Plugs that aren't used just hang loose.

You do need a 87-89 harness...year is important.

That harness is expensive IMHO

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

Body and engine style does not matter. Just make sure you get one from a matching year.

As far as the cluster is concerned you are going to have to run a few wires, but it shouldn't much matter. How are you wiring the lsx? Painless harness? Factory gm?

It has a trans am harness in it now, im swapping to a new PSI GM harness for t56 because im running a turbo400 trans so less wires, and the harness is sorta hacked up and the plug in adapter to tune the car wasnt responding so its just a wiring mess. Im going to start over and do it my way.

Ouch, sounds like a nightmare. Not sure hw much help you are going to get here with that kind of swap. Corral has a hybrid tech forum for just this kind of thing.
