IF however, you decide to change the intake manifold and TB (such as a F.A.S.T. w/ an LS2 TB for example), then of course you'd need the appropriate adapter wire harness for that as well. Racetronix covers that as well. Plug-n-play.
Personally, I would also take this opportunity to relocate your OPS. You can search and there's a couple people still offering them. They use stainless braided hose, etc. Very worthwhile.
Sadly, the absolute best version is one that was made by Total Performance Engineering (TPE), which is no longer in business. It did NOT use a stainless braided hose and instead used a machined aluminum adapter block that bolted directly to the side of the block next to where the oil filter is located. Beautiful piece of work and works like a charm.
Sometimes you can get lucky and find one for sale in the for sale section. HTH
Btw, I would also recommend installing a Powerbond (race series) harmonic balancer w/ARP crank bolt, over going back with an OE. They are excellent value for money and are reliable. If you don't want to use the underdrive version, they make an identical version in standard diameter size as well.

What engine mounts are you using?? I recommend up-grading to a poly replacement and if that's not an option, at least a set of NEW OEMs.

The units made by either DEA or Anchor are much less expensive than Delco. AAMOF, it's DEA and/or Anchor that are the actual manufacturer for GM. Check Rock Auto or other sources for DEA A2993 or Anchor 2993. Another company Westar offers a solid (non-hydraulic) version of the OE mounts too.
