4th Gen Camaro Dash in 3rd Gen Camaro - HVAC Question

I am trying to decide if I want to do this swap. I have mapped out all of the wiring except HVAC assembly. Anyone have any clue if the HVAC assembly (controls) will work with my 3rd gen HVAC system?

Thanks

i have the 1997 factory service manual (got it for free from school ) i can look up the schematic, or better yet, i can scan it

then all you will need is someone to scan you a 3rd gen schematic

lemme know if your interested

Thanks, but I have the 1993 Service manual. I have been able to idenify everything for the 93/97 but linking back to the 89 is hard. Was just hopeing someone has already taken the leap with a Camaro. If I have to I will buy the 97 HAVC system and install it also.

Again, thanks

Re: 4th Gen Camaro Dash in 3rd Gen Camaro - HVAC Question

Was curious about this too. Basically i don't have A/C but looking to keep the heater box in the bay, and if i swapped the 4th inner hvac box what would I have to do to make it fit with the 4th gen dash? or is it just a bolt on and i'm good? Also the wiring, would it be best to grab the hvac wiring from a 4th gen and plug it in?

The controls will work but the vacuum lines need to be modified in addition to the wiring. I used vacuum caps, cut off the capped ends, applied permatex 5 min epoxy to the inner side of them, and used them as vacuum line splices. I've tried searching but I know the vacuum line diagrams are on here somewhere for the dash swap. Also the 4th gen heater door cable will work but need to make a custom bracket or I believe others have used a heater door cable from another vehicle like maybe a S10.
