Default Engine swap

I have a 98 couple that I am going to pull the engine and replace with a 2004 Z06 LS6. Will the PCM from the 98 work with the LS6? Both are 6speeds... Any "things" I need to watch out for ... Thanks!

PCM works fine. I put a 2004 LS6 crate motor in mine. Its basically the same engine with a little bigger cam and slightly better flowing heads. I would get a tune once its done, but it's not needed unless you added some extra power adders. I pulled mine out the top using instructions on LS1howto. I do have a 2002 although, I'm not sure if our PCMs are different.

Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback, especially the LS1howto tip! I'm sure I'll use this a lot.
