Yes, I put power mirrors in my 87 camaro. You need get both mirrors, wiring harness(got mine form a firebird because I want the switch in the center console). And then all you have to do is install the mirrors and run the wires. The best wiring harness to get is one from mid 80's camaro or firebird because it just plugs it to a accesory block on the driver side behind the kick panel.

Hey Tad, did you remove the center console and run the wiring harness under the carpet?
Also, are the mirror motors in the mirror or do they mount on the inside of the door? Thanks for any help.

I ran it under the carpet under the drivers seat. but the console will flex enough so you don't have to remove it. Just the top part. If you do it this way you will need the harness from a firebird because the switch was mounted on the center console. The camaro was in the drivers side door. The motors for the power windows is in the mirror housing.
