4th gen steering wheel

Can you swap a 4th gen steering wheel in for the stock one?

If you already have an airbag, and swap in a 4th gen steering wheel and hook up the air bag, will it still work? Just wondeirng if there are any differences in the generations of air bags.

I have a Camaro wheel in my T/A and the airbag was blown and then the cover stitched back up. I am going to change it eventually to a T/A one though.

Well, they aren't great looking, but neither is my '90 Camaro wheel. But I will switch to one just to be able to use the horn without carefully pushing in only on the corner. I can never find the horn when I am angry.

Also is there any way to remove the turnsignal lever from the 4th gen steering wheel. Because my berlinetta has the little pods that pull out with all that stuff on it.
