Question How hard is it to put a 2001 WS6 dash in a 2001 SS?

Well I can get a 2001 WS6 dash for a pretty good price and have always liked the looks better then my camaro dash. Would I be able to use my camaro gauges or will I have to use everything from the WS6 dash? Just basicly want the front part of the dash not all the wiring and gauges if its even possible. Any info on this would be great
thanks

well I tried seaching on here and ls1.com without finding someone that has done it. I wonder if I can use just the front part of the WS6 dash so I wont have to use the gauges and do the wire harness swap?
