need help!!----4th gen console

I really want to put a 4th gen console in my 91 Camaro. If anyone has done this is it very difficult? What needs to be modified? What is the best year to get the console from? camaro or firechicken? anybody have any pics of a completed install?

I just did my swap last weekend, looks real nice. I got a 6-sp from a 2001 Camaro and put it in my 88 Firebird. Only problems I ran into is that it wouldn't clear the shifter cable, or the wires off the shifter. After I notched the shifter plate it fit perfect.I'll try to put pics up tomarrow.

Remember though the Camaro console is integrated into the radio/hvac pod . You will have to cut the factory console for this to work and then make it look unlike a hacker job . The Firebird guys are getting this done so easily because 3rd gen bird consoles are 2 pieces . It could be done in a camaro , but it will look out of place IMO .
