88 305 with digital dash swapped with 88 350

Well earlier last month I hit some freshly laid gravel across a well travelled road and wound up in a ditch with a bent frame on my 88 T/A. Everything inside is still sealed and hasnt cracked or anything, the engine just needs to be pulled is all.

So now i've found another 88 trans am that i've always wanted with all the bells and whistles and colour that I wanted to.

The donor body has a 305TPI auto with the digital dash in it so I know theres extra bits and pieces that are floating around due to the way the dash works.

My question is, will my complete 350+transmission(already has new sensors all around from my performance build) drop in without having to buy any additional parts or sensors?

Im just worried about something that may be on the 305 due to the digital dash being in place that needs to transfer over to the 350 that I don't know about since as soon as I pick up the car im yanking the engine and transmission out and giving it to another guy for his 69 camaro to beat around on.

If anyone has any info, let me know please!

Thanks

I can't say I could provide all of the details, but I can't imagine it being a problem. Even the non-digital TA's had the electronic speedo sender rather than the mechanical cable by '88, from what I understand.

Well some info is better than no info, thats for sure.

I'll just have to make sure everything is labelled thoroughly and neatly arrangedbefore I drop it all back in place and see what I might be missing if anything. I wouldn't imagine that I would be missing anything but I couldn't be too sure.
