70's steering wheel in 85 Trans Am

Hey Guy's,
Need some help. I'm sure somebody out there has put a second generation fat soft wheel in their third generation bird. Any tips on hub replacement that will easily fit????
Thanks

Should bolt right in. Great looking wheel BTW, probably my favorite stock steering wheel of any car ever.

The hub is the same. Bolts right on.

Is this one of the old 4-spoke Z28 "string wrapped" ones? YUCK. If so, the REAL question is, why would anybody with 2 neurons they could rub together and get even just one to fire at a time, ever put one of those things in their car? Do you not like having thumbs, or what?

Thats what was installed in my IROC when I bought it (my car was otherwise 100% stock). I installed a factory IROC steering wheel almost immediately.
Here's what it looked like:
