What challenges to fit 2000 seats in my 86
Looking at this set, or similar for my 86 Trans Am.
https://m.ebay.com/itm/2000-Pontiac-...oAAOSwLjxaiTPq
My car does not have a power drivers seat but my 86 parts car does so I could take the wiring from that one.
My rear seat is two piece and this appears to be one piece. Is that going to be compatible?
What else am I looking at having to change? Do the 4th gen seats have the seat belt guides?

Not much wiring to it. Just need the plug to connect a wire to 12V constant at the distribution block under the driver's side of the dash, and a ground wire.
You'll have to remove the split seat bracket, it's just spot welded in place.
4th gen seats use the same guide screw spacing as a thirdgen, so you can use whichever guides you like.

That all sounds easy enough. What about the seat belt guides for the front seat backs?
For that matter whats it take to use 4th gen belts?

WooHoo! I got a 2002 black cloth seat set shipping up from California for $350. Gotta love having the hookup at the national wrecking yard chains.
