VATs Problem?

I needed to get a PROM for an L98 as I swaped in a 88 L98 into my 87 GTA that was an orignial LB9 car. Now VATS started in 1988. Is this going to be a problem when I go to crank up my car?

Are there any PROM issues I should be ready for?

Yeah, you need to turn off VATS in your prom, or it will probably start and go dead over and over again.

Probably if you can get it wired up. That's over my head.
Maybe someone else will chime in.
