Is the 99 in the picture the truck it\'s going in and do you want to connect or disconnect the a/c & 4wabs? I have them both working in my 94 sb 4x4, so I might be able to help if you want them functional. Your ecm in a different style than mine, but the basic wiring to the 2 items is the same. In SC you probably don\'t need the abs like we do up here in snow digger country. What are you going to do for a transmission? If you have a 4l60e going with a carb could get interesting. I swapped mine out for a 700r4. Same tranny w/o the electronics. Just make sure to get one with an electric speedo drive and use your original reluctor ring from your old tranny or you won\'t have a speedo or rear abs. It will be a lot easier all around if you can get a factory service manual & wiring diagram for your exact year truck. Don\'t bother with Haynes or Chilton. They just use a generic 96 - 2003 diagram in their book. I love their continual use of the phrase \"must be handled by a dealer service department\".
