9c1 lt1 '86 Camaro parts question!

I have a caprice lt1 that I'm swapping into my 86 5 speed I just recently bought the intake and aluminum heads from a Camaro lt1 and the PCM as well. The caprice lt1 came from a 9c1 cop car I also have that PCM as well. I was wondering should I exchange the intake manifold and the aluminum heads to the 9c1 lt? Or would it b wiser not to? Also should I exchange the PCM? I no the caprice PCM has been tuned I.e no limiter and so on, I was told the Camaro PCM has a stage 2 chip? Idk what else though maybe programmed as well. And I was also told the aluminum heads are ready for rockers? If that makes a diff. Please tell me your thoughts/experiences

Aluminum Camaro headers? Do you mean aluminum Camaro heads?

Re: 9c1 lt1 '86 Camaro parts question!

I would do the camaro heads for the weight, won't be a whole lot put a cam in it that was one difference in the caprice- camaro hp ratings.
If the camaro PCM has a chip it is for a 93 and can only be used on a 93 motor.
