Swapped out my 200c in a 82 Trans Am for a 700r4. Shorter accelerator cable

Hey guys ! Hope all is well. I'm doing a Engine/Tranny Swap in my 82 Trans Am. I already wired up the Painless kit. I know it needs some kind of vacuum,where do I get the vacuum from a 350carb to the 700r4 -? And finally, I noticed that the accelerator cable from the 200c is very long,do I need to make any changes to make it fit for the 700r4 ? Any help would be great,thank you very much

I'm getting ready to do this same thing two times (2 cars) what did you find when it came to the tranny?

The 700 doesn't use vacuum.

The accelerator cable goes from the gas pedal to the carb; has nothing to do with the transmission.

There is however a detent or "kickdown" cable for a 200, whereas the 700 uses a throttle valve aka TV cable. Not at all the same thing. Might be a good idea to start here. www.tvmadeez.com Look through their catalog of carb setups, and most especially, read and understand the full "TV 101" article (about 3 - 4 pages, all told).
