Does anyone know if you can simply rip out the whole vats system and the ECM on a TPI to Carb swap? My Vats code is still unknown to me. I lost my keys, Chevorlet can not find the code from my VIN # the locksmith wants

300$ so after completing the swap can the whole system just be removed or will the car still not start?

To add to that, once you have the resistance you could have a new key made. You could also just replace the vats module, it likely would cost less the carb changeover and all and would still leave you emmisions legal.
