Default New computer need help programmingin Va Beach!!

I just got a new computer for my 98. Is there anyone in the Virginia Beach area that can program my vin into the computer without the computer being in the car? The dealership says they need the car to do it. Also I previously had a dyno tune, and I had my rear 02 sensors deleted for my long tube header install, can this be done as well. My car is stock except for the long tube headers and the magna flow exhaust? My car has been down for almost a year Im anxious to get it back on the road!

Im not sure what happened, it seems that in the 98s they just seem to go bad, a huge thanks to Ed Hutchings for getting my PCM good to go. Put it in today reprogrammed the VATS and it fired right up! Im so excited to have my vette back as its been down quite some time.
