The VIN doesn't matter... FlashScan licenses to the PCM serial number.

You would do these steps:
1. full flash the PCM with the right OS,
2. edit the VIN using the scantool,
3. do VATS relink if equiped with VATS.
4. do CASE relearn.

I suppose the order of steps 1. and 2. may be swapped.

You use the VIN that matches with the rest of your components.
