I was wondering about going about this. It's a obd1 computer. Do I need a chip or can I just use a resistor?

 

you do nothing it will work fine just the way it is

 

I was told I needed to make a chip? If I do nothing will it set off any check engine lights? I ask because I will need to bring the car to a referee when I finish and also smog

 

As stated above it will work , if you have any decelleration issues you should have reprograming done. The sa is more aggressive for a automatic tune but still will not ping.
If the is a 93 ecm service number 16159278 it has a memcal that contains a uv erasable eprom that can be reprogramed. The 94-95 16181333 or 16188051 t1 used a flashed based prom and will cost you alot more to get reprogramed.

 

It's a 94 , I need to bring it to a referee since its an engine swap. Have a caprice 9c1 and Camaro Ecu both 94 the body is manual they are automatic

 

im not sure what you mean bye it needs to goto a referee but run it if it drives fine don't waste your coin on a flash.

 

Well I have heard that if you transplant a newer engine into a older car that still has to smog it has to meet the same type of emissions as the engines year. So the referee has to pass the car to smog it? Is this true? I would love to just skip this stage. I'm sure it will ride fine but I can't have any type of engine alerts popping up on the dash to pass smog

 

im sure as long as you leave it emission equipped and its in good mechanical condition it will be fine I doubt the will even hook up to the aldl.

 

Okay thank you for your input its much appreciated
