95 vs 96 pcm

[Mike]

Ken,

	Is the 96 a different pcm? Can it be flashed by the dealer with a 95 vin
and become a 95 pcm or not? Im doing the same as you but with a 72 chevy
p/u. I'm ready to drop the engine and tranny, so i have the harness at home
rearanging it. Im going to put the pcm in the cab of the truck. Alos i'm
eliminating everything i can, So far ive removed the abs stuff. What about
the egr system and the canster purge system can the be removed with little
effects on the pcm?

thanks

Mike
