Assuming you don't want to program the chip in circuit, then wire this pin to Vcc.

I suspect that Marcello simply needs to "rearrange" the four pins.  In
ECMs of this era, GM seemed to use a 74138 type 3to8 decoder to drive an
active low chip select.  That'll be on one of the active low chip select inputs.

A CPU address line or two might be brought over to the chip selects - to
allow for a bigger PROM or to provide extra decoding.  This can probably
be ignored.

The R/~W line might also be brought over to one of the active high chip
selects.  This way the PROM stays disabled during CPU writes to it's
address range.  You don't need to simulate this.

My instructions to Marcello are:  Pull out an ohm meter.  Find what pins
20 and 21 are wired to.  One of them almost certainly will connect to a
16 pin DIP package.  That will be your active low chip select.  Connect
it to pin 18 or 20 of your EPROM.  Connect the other three pins of your
EPROM to appropriate logic levels.

BTW, consider using a 2732 or 2532 - you may need to do less pin swapping.
