See the AutoVE tutorial, located here (scroll down to PDF section).

At the end, do not enable the MAF and do not enable Closed Loop.

For VATS look at G1201... there might be something else to do also, depending on how you're wired up:
if you eliminated the BCM you also have to check if the BCM enables a starter relay (which you would have to eliminate).

Attached diagram is from Camaro/Firebird... I'm not sure if a 5.3L Vortec is the same.
