Default 98 coupe drivelne swap electrical problems...PLEASE HELP!!!

We did a 98 coupe automatic driveline swap. converted it to a 2003 z06 complete driveline harness computer and all except trans harness had to be swapped to a 2000 so all the plugs would pin out correctly. Now the a/c will not engage by the dual climate control only with hptuners am i able to force it to engage. when it does it cools perfectly and everything. We swapped out the dual climate control and also the high pressure switch to see if that changed anything with no results.we are getting a b0333 code from the hvac and as well and the blower motor seems to be a little weak as well. Also the door chime will not stop chiming and was doing that when car was first dropped off. Also the ignition switch was changed to a blank key and a resistor was installed inline to communicate with the bcm. We installed a original key with and key then relearned it to the bcm and still would not start. but we have resolved that problem and got the car running and driving now. We used the 98 fuse box under the hood and frame harness. Everything pinned out correctly wire for wire as well. Needing help with this asap please. Supposed to deliever car to customer TOMMORROW!!!!!!!!


UPDATE: Issue was in the front frame harness that was original to the car!

We used the 03 pcm, 99 manual harness and the 98 front frame rail harness. Everything works except the ac. The strange thing is that we can force it on with hp tuners so all the wiring is correct. Headlight, fog light, fans all work.

We got everything fixed Bill. It was in the front frame harness, car had 259k on it so the harness has seen a lot of heat.

Thank you,
Marc
