Also this van does not have a factory tow package , so must I install a t connector 4 pole flat prior to installing the 7 pole plug ? if you can email me the parts needed it would greatly be appreciated

First we will start off with the hitch. I recommend going with the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch, # 13040, for your 2002 Chevrolet Express Van. This hitch receiver bolts directly to the frame of the van with no welding or drilling required.
For a t-connector we have the T-One Wiring Harness, # 118377, that plugs directly into your existing taillight wiring without any cutting or splicing.
In order to obtain a 7 way at the back of the van, you will need to install a Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller, # ETBC7.
Since the brake controller itself is universal, you have numerous options. One of our economical options is the Hayes Engage Trailer Brake Controller # HA81760, and wiring adapter # HA81789-HBC. This brake controller engages your trailer's brakes with a preset intensity when you apply the brakes in your vehicle.
To complete the towing package, we offer Ball Mount # AMSC2, Hitch Pin and Clip, # PC3, 2 Inch Hitch Ball # 63845, and 1-7/8 Ball # 19260.
I have also attached a couple of links that you may want to take a look at.
