Just plug the L67 loom into you ecotec ecu and fit the L67 chip. As long as you old ecu and vy ecu both have the service number ending with 396, they are the same type of ecu so it will be a runner

Get the memcal from the VY ecu and fit it to the VT ecu. They are the same ecu, only difference is that your VT one is already linked to the VT BCM. This is done for a security handshake at start up.

The memcal/ chip doesn't need to link to anything, just needs to know which wire goes where and this isn't an issue in your scenario

You said you already have the VY computer, why do you want to buy another memcal? you already have it...

Also you might want to compare the wiring harnesses to make sure the plugs are the same when you have it out. if they are different then might be easier using the ecotec harness

Yes I have the vy computer I am so confused, is the Memcal inside the computer, cause I was told that the vy computer won't fit in my vt car as I already have a vt computer so is there like a chip or Memcal inside the vy computer do I remove that one then put it into the vt computer, thanks

VT ecotec and VY L67 have the same computers, all that's different is the memcal which is inside, you need to change this over to your Vt computer, this way you won't run into any issues with the BCM
