There was a post about this recently. Some Ebay vendor offered a kit with 4 TPMSs, 2 fobs, and 1 reciever. It worked. Only point that was not clear TO ME, is whether it was 2001-2004 parts OR 1997-2000 export parts.

Yea, it's all plug-n-play, as long as you change all the parts you mentioned with a set from '01 and up. The "kit" on Ebay states "export" parts. They look just like the late model sensors, however I believe the part #'s are different. My only conccern with that kit is replacement part availability. Might get part #'s and check with GM about replacement FOBs, etc. Otherwise, it has worked fine for several members.
Here's the thread about that kit.
