Gas pedal - yes
Wiring harness - yes - including the body harness from the PCM into the cab upto the gas pedal and the diagnostic port and if you can upto the gage cluster.
PCM yes
Transmission - depends if you want to run the 4L60E

Best to run an in tank EFI pump - a walbro pump for a grand national is good enough.

Fuel pressure 58 PSI for a return less system (04 and up engines)

Some have swapped the return less fuel rail to the 02/03 return style and run an external fuel pressure regulator.

Rad - go look at the size of a stock trailblazer rad.
