[2010.2ss.abm]

Hello, I am preparing to begin the process of swapping my LT Camaro to an SS. I know it doesn't make much sense, "why not buy a SS?" My 2010 LT was my first car and unfortunately doesn't run anymore. I'd much rather give new life to it than buy a replacement. That being said, I will be dropping an L99 automatic into the car. I'd like to disable to AFM to prevent the car from swapping over to 4 cylinders. From everything I've read here and throughout the internet, it seems like this can be done without physical modifications to the engine via tuning. Is this correct? And if I'm not worried about making more power than stock, do I need to bother with VVT or can I tune out AFM and leave VVT as is? I'm trying to avoid as much mechanical modification as possible. Any advice for this noobie over here is appreciated. Thank you!
