Default F-Body Climate Controls vs. Corvette Climate

Just out of curiosity, could you take a 2002 Vette a/c controls (the digital type) and put it in an F-body?

Just looks nicer than our "manual" controls we got on F-Body's.

i wondered the same thing but my mechanic was quick to point out that the corvettes is a true dual climte zone yud have to change the entire air conditioning system including the fans and youd have to modify the dash.But arnt there cars that have digital controls without dual climate?What does the grand prix have? I still dont know if my mechanics right but thats what he told me and i let it rest when he said "do you feel like experimenting ith your money enough to find out?" cause it isnt important to me although it would deffinately be cool!

Not all the Vettes are Dual Climate...so you could try to get one that isnt.

FRC don't have dual, neither do Z06s, I think...

I am pretty sure early FRC cars did not have it...but I may be wrong.

It was a rare but available option on 99FRC's and more common on 00FRC's.
