Your plan sounds an awful lot like my truck! LOL! On a side note, the Nova I did 20+ years ago, I kept the low oil light wiring and added another light to the dash, so that it has a low oil pressure and low oil light, and in all the years of driving it, it's never come on. That is for non car people who don't know how to open the hood, because it only comes on when you get to around 2 quarts or so of oil left in the pan, not something I would ever think anyone who does a swap would let happen. But, it doesn't hurt anything to add it and isn't hard at all, so might as well add it if it you want to.

Are you using the factory A/C or going aftermarket? If using the factory system, you can use both the high and low pressure sensors from the Tahoe and it will work like stock.
