Ok,,, it will fit fine ,,better ? lol
Seriously tho,, there should be some sort of bracket that the console was mounted to originally,,, if not,,it has screws (concealed) that went directly into the roof reinforcement,,,it doesn't show mounting in parts breakdown picture,,sorry

I've sold several and installed one in my 85 IROC. There are two versions of the overhead, one a t-top version, one a couple version (the couple version is curved more toward the windshield. It also requires a cardboard piece that fits under the headliner). For either version there are four, perhaps six, retaining screws that fit into the metal of the roof. My car already had the holes drilled. Make sure you snip a 6-inch piece of the original car's wiring so that the console's connector will match up.
