How would you go about flashing a pcm outside of the car? Like not hooked up...or even can you?

Yes, the VCM needs its own power, you'd have to wire in an OBD-II port to the ECU.

Its not too hard if you have a 12v power supply, spare ECU connectors, and know what wires go where...

Do I just replace it with mine and start tuning it, or do I have to do something with VIN numbers or anything else?

Yeah, thats pretty much it, you'll have to turn the VATS off so that your car will start and run, but its pretty much that simple.
