all power seats need is a power and ground wire. You can tap the power off any source that has constant power. Perferable somethihng that has power when the car is off. Yoiu could probably tap off the power line form your original wiring for the drivers seat for the passenger seat! The ground is as simple as installing a ring terminal over the seat stud...make sure the paint is scrapped away to get good metal contact though.

On teh cneter console, I think it is pretty straight forward. Remove old put new in its place. The gear shifter I would think would be the only tricky thing. I have heard Firebirds line up great because of the radio pod design, but Camaros, not so well. I have never done one, but I think someone said its easier on a manual car. Not sure though! Best suggestion is to dig thru some old posts via search. Sorry I don't know more then that!

Is there a tech article yet?
