Tbi to tpi

I have a 1988 Trans am with the 305 TBI and I have a 1987 Iroc Z 350 TPI. I am going to turn the iroc into my car, so I am buying all new TPI gear.

Can I use the iroc TPI to switch over to the TA? I also can use the harness from the iroc on the TA?

The tpi will physically bolt on. As for the harness you will have length issues battery located on the drivers side vs passengers side ccp . There might be differences in connector c100 you would need to compare the two.

You can use the same ecm but the memcal (chip) needs to be reprogrammed.
