bought all parts for t56 swap, is it too much of a hassle I just bought all the parts to swap a 00 trans am into a manual car. It seems like it to much of a hassle after reading the threads. What's your opinion?
I bought the following parts out of a 00 black trans am:
console, pedals, t-56
I think I still need the wiring harness out of the manual car.

Uh, little to late now to ask don't ya think...after buying everything
Bit time consuming, but nothing over the top.

It's not too bad..you don't necessarily need a Manual Wiring Harness, an Auto one can be converted very easily.
Here is a thread that will help you..

I swapped mine over 3 years ago now, and my only regret was not getting a 6-speed in the first place!!! 
Seriously, it's NOT that complicated to get it swapped and driveable. I had mine done in a weekend, by myself. The only thing(s) I never got working since (never cared to, haven't taken the time to) was cruise control (doesn't work at all - I never tapped into the computer pin #?? to make it work) and reverse lock-out (I hooked up a manual switch instead of tapping into the computer). Normally I don't bother "switching" off reverse lock-out though ... it's not that hard to push over. And secondly, I RARELY drive with cruise anyway, so it's not something I miss at all in the Camaro.
If you WANT to have the 6-speed, then just DO IT!!
