Update..

Chainsing an oil pressure issue. I can't get oil pressure. I have a new pump and o-ring waiting at the dealer for me. Hopefully it's that simple.

Yeah I ordered both red and blue o-ring along with a new LS6 pump. I used the red o-ring and packed the pump full of pertroleum jelly. Pulled the plugs and injector harness. Turned it over for about 10 seconds, with in 3 I was at 20psi and by 10 I was at 30psi. Let is sit a minute, did it again and instantly had oil pressure (20psi, by 5 seconds I was at 30psi). Tomorrow I'll hang the pulley and misc stuff back on and fire it up.

I assume your talking about the LSX harness being cut. Do yourself a favor and order a new one from GM. It was much nicer as the wires haven't been heated and formed to a specific shape. Also you don't have to do a ton of tracing to figure out what is what.
