4th gen power seats in a 3rd gen
Anyone that has installed power 4th gen seats in a 3rd gen. What did you have to do with wiring if its already there in the floor? I might have a good deal in some seats coming..

Not necessarily, depends on the year. Mostly the connector. Regardless though, its just pos/neg.

Okay. What is the most common way to run a positive/negative to the front passenger seat?
Can I Spice the power from the light in the center console storage compartment?
These are out of a 98 trans am if that makes a difference

The factory power wire goes to a circuit breaker in the fuse block, then to a fuse. Then onto the seat. Neg is straight to ground under the carpet.
I wouldn't use the console light or any low power circuit. You'll just blow the fuse. If you don't already have a OE harness installed. I'd run power straight to battery w/ a 20amp inline fuse, 12g wire should be good enough.
