Im not sure how similar firebirds are but on my camaro there was a hole for wires behind the steering column. i would pull the panel to expose the whole thing and there should be wires going into the fire wall and you can always add holes

Sorry for a late response, I actually took most of my dash apart the other day and it turns out ill most likely be needing to drill a whole for the wires and etc maybe there is a whole some where im just not gettin a good view of it from either side of the firewall
