Question Changing steering wheels? Difficult?

Have a 99 SS and have the ugliest most uncomfortable steering wheel from the factory... Was wondering how difficult it would be to change the steering wheel and airbag assembly? I want a factory wheel just not the one I have, I would like to find the 2000-2002 style but one without the buttons cause I don't have that option on my car! Thanks

This is what I have


This is what I'd like

I've done this before and did a write up on here. Check it out, it can be done (and you can keep radio controls as well).

I don't have radio controls from the factory though... Don't want to do the wiring to add it unless it's easy?

It's not hard, but regardless you can swap out wheels. The info is there if you want to put controls in though. Good luck.
