Installing a Digital Dash!

I recently found a Trans Am for sale and I will be acquiring it soon! It's an '87 or '88 I belive! Anyhow, I plan on removing the Transmission and using it in my car....selling the TPI out of it....and junking the 305! I'll probably hang on to the wheels as well but as for the body, I'm not keeping it! Well, this car has a digital dash.....one of the very few that had it! I would like to swap the digital dash out of this car and into my '86 Trans Am! I know the computer chips in the '86-'88 or '89 are the exact same chips so does this mean I can just take the dash and swap it into mine w/out swapping the computer?? What all would I need to swap? Wiring harness maybe also?? If anybody has any insight or suggestions about this topic please let me know!

You will need the wiring harness from inside the car. And if it has the "information center", then you will need the "lamp monitor" module down by the steering column also.

P.S. want a spare dash?
