Physically they are a direct bolt-in, no mods needed.
If you are putting in power seats though, the wiring will need to be spliced together, because the plugs are different,

To get the seats to work you'll need to buy the wiring and air line harness from GM or you could make up your own. I followed what this fellow did with my 98 Trans Am leather seats.
