LT1 swap VATS Question?

Hello guys im new to this site and have a couple questions about the vats system on my car its a 92 z28 i recently put an lt1 from a 95 z28 in it with a T56 trans i used a underhood fuse relay box harness and pcm from a 94 z28. I was wondering if i have to bypass vats or if i can keep it bc the engine wont crank and the fuel pump wont prime when you turn the key on. I was looking at some diagrams and found 2 wires on the c207 wht/blk ignition key resistor feed and ppl/wht ignition key resistor return if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

You have to address vats or your car will not run.

That being said, most people have it tuned out of the pcm. You can bypass vats, or there are ways of keeping it if you really want it. Do a search on here it has been covered many times.
