MLPS LS1/4L60E Swap

Question? When doing this swap into a 3rd gen such as my 89 Iroc, Do you use the MLPS from the trucks (on the shift shaft) or the one on the shifter (such as the one from my doner 98 Camaro)? I am using the Stainless Works 2.5" headers and I am a little worried about clearance and also cooking it if it were to be next to the collecter. Any help or advice would be great.
George.

Use the switch on your stock shifter. Only the P/neutral switch is retained
