Yes ive done it,but my car already had the O.H.Though i believe ALL F-bodys have the holes for the mounts that screw onto the roof.These hold the O.H. up.You should be able to do this.Just dont over cut the headliner.When i redid mine i made the cut outs after mounting the headliner.I cut small round holes to match the mounting points on the O.H..From there i carefully cut away material until i could install the O.H.,BUT i stayed 1.5in inward from the edges of the O.H console.
