I'm using the 4th gen steering column who's stalk mounted wiper switch, interestingly enough, shares the intermittent resistor values with the '99 - '07 Silverado wiper motor. I picked the motor from a junk yard for $15. It looks very similar to the DSE unit and does not have the 4th gen's park feature. Wiring it is also a no brainer if using a more modern column.

If appearance is your thing: I'm also relocating the wiper motor to the extreme drivers side of the firewall, hidden under the fender. I'm not sure if it's something you could do an an A body, but something to consider.
Solid info but , I believe you are forgetting the chevelles have the wipers parked or at least was an option hence why I'm going to use that one. Great info about the switches
