dumb question from a newb

i now this is probably going to be a dumb question but i am new to the 3rd gens and dont know mush about them. i have a 89 gta and i was looking under the drivers seat because i want to replace the seats. i noticed there was a black box mounted underneath the seat with a bunch of wires going/coming out of it. i dont have power seats so what is it for/ do i have to leave it if i replace my seats? thanks for the help

GTA's should all have power seats. Do your seats have any buttons on the side of them, should be like 4 circles or so? What about some curving "ribs" on the lateral supports? If not, the seats aren't original.

GTA seats are niiiiiiiiiiiiice.

i think what your talking about is the air pump for the support in sides of the seat and sides of the back. mine doesnt work so i dunno how it all works but there should be 4 buttons in a circle on the left side of the drivers seat.
