has anyone put a roof console out of a suburban in a camaro or trans am? like between the ttops part? i think itd be awesome to relocate the air conditioning up there and use the space for a custom nav unit. just a thought. My moms got a 99 suburban and it doesnt look like the stock air control unit will fit in but it may i dont really know. What does the roof console look like in the next generation after my moms? Anyone ever done this? any imput guys?

Considering that you'd need to extend a vacuum line as well as a couple of cables, not including electrical lines I'll let you try this out first. I've thought about this before too as well as a few others, but I've never seen anyone actually try it out. Most people just relocate the HVAC to the glove box.

this is the same reason i want to do. Either that or hook up a nav like a pioneer avic-d1 to a custom 7 or even 8 inch touch screen. Could you imagine if that entire part for our air and radio were one big screen? and air controls were up top? well i measured my moms and that style wont fit which sucks cause there one for 10 bucks on ebay. But i can still hope for the next gens or customize the one on ebay. I really want to do this itd be sweet huh?

I swapped the roof lining on my old F-body awhile back. There isn't room to run more than small *** wires and I doubt you would enjoy mounting anything to the thin *** roof.

I would say nothing more than a panel with all of your nitrous switchs should go there. They would stiff hang down to much and I don't believe they would be mounted firmly.

some guys put their ac controls in the glovebox.

I swapped my headliner out with a ABS plastic one from yearone painted it black with clear coat and didn't bother to put carpet on it just in case i want to do something with it

here's my contribution...I was looking into this as well and discovered this stuff..with respect to wires

I was looking to do something similar, but with guages instead. I know the turbo buick guys have t-top pods for gauges, and newer trucks have roof gauge pods. You could always build your own box to hold the hvac unit up.

the biggest problem would be the vacume lines, not the wires

that would be pretty sweet if you get it done.

actually, the hard thing with the HVAC is the cable that controls the temp. can't just extend it
