Default Any tips or tricks on Swapping out the Dash & Wiring Harness

Just picked up my roller and im going to start swapping the Wiring Harness and Dash over this weekend.

I have been looking for information on doing this but have not been lucky finding any theards on it. Just wanting to know if anyone has any tips or tricks to make this easier. I have been told to start with the steering column is this a good idea if not what should i start on?

Both cars are 99 SS's im taking everything out and I mean everything out of my car and putting it in the roller.

Thanks

Just wondering why you put a wiring question in the Appearance & Detailing section?

Well my thinking behind it is if someone has done a dash swap most likely they have messed with the wiring to so why not ask it in the same theard.

Is the roller harness all hacked up? If not why mess with swapping the wiring in? If its just the dash color do as in that link viking posted & just swap the outer dash piece & leave the current harness in the roller.

All the wiring is rolled up in the back of the car. There is only 3 wires cut which are to the rear view mirror lights,which I can fix that. The only thing that needs to be swap over wiring related is the BCM, PCM and the engine harness as they are all gone from the roller.
