Need help with 4th gen interior swap info...LOTS of it...
Alright guys, let the hazing begin. I know it has been covered a million times but honestly my freakin head hurts from trying to do all the searching just to come up with a bunch of ramblings that doesnt really pertain to the subject. Anyways, any input or links to threads that DOES awnser my questions would be appreciated. The plan is i have a 97 parts car, i am taking the ENTIRE wiring harness/dash/fuse boxes/etc and planting them into my 91....but here are some of the issues
-Looking for DETAILED intructions on putting door panels from a 4th gen(97 camaro) into my 91. Where, what, and how to cut.
-How do i get the VATS system either disabled, or transfer all the things over to the 91. The parts car was complete other than a wreck to the back so i have all the stuff i need. I just need instructions as to how and what all needs to be brought over. Will i need to swap the whole steering column?
-Any places that have DETAILED intructions on the dash install, i already have both dashs out and it doesnt look too bad but i would like someone with experience to walk me through it to ensure things are done well and right.
-i am putting the motor and trans into the car from the 97 and i need to know what in the center console needs to be either changed, swapped out, or taken out. Im moving all window switches etc. to the door panels so that isnt important, i just need to know how to swap the shifter over and if i need to swap the emergency break handle over or just the cable.
-the pedal assembly....(origionally a 5 speed, converting to a auto.) how to switch pedal assembly out
-Last but not least, the brake master cylinder....i want to swap over from the 4th gen since the 91 is ancient and crappy...not to mention for a 5 speed. SO, how to convert that over and if i can do away with abs brakes? I am bringing the whole rear end and all over but i do not want abs.....how do i delete this out?
Any help would be appreciated guys...hopefully this post will get me the awsners i need.

I have done the swap and nobody is going to be able to tell you much , when it comes to this swap you just need to start it out and let common sense set in in terms of helping you mount it. My suggestion to you is , depending on what brackets on the sides your car has from the old dash (ive seen two different kinds) either bend them down or cut them off depending on which ones you have. Then place your 4thgen dash in and bolt it up to the steering column this will center your dash properly. The rest you will see when the dash is placed , like I said common sense will guide you and a little bit of fabrication skill will go a long ways.
