Default TA dash in a camaro?

this may be a dumb questions, I haven't checked it out much, but would a TA dash fit in a camaro?(I kinda like the look a bit more, with the 3 ac vents(which I'm pretty sure wouldn't be functional if swapped)

I wish that the Camaro's had the T/A Vents and T/A Doors... Thats all that I wish...Being able to stick guages in the vents would be so much easier and cleaner.

i think it would be cool to be able to use the three center vents for gauges, and such. I may decide to do it on my car. Anyone wanna trade dashes???

Somebody trade this guy. I like the looks of the TA interiors much better than the camaros. The Camaros are just so damn plain. I second the gauge idea.

Yes it just bolts right in and you have to rewire the cluster plug. Its no different than a 97 Camaro dash swap, it even wires the same. If you do it correctly it'll work just like its factory. The stock door panels work fine with the dash i don't know why people assume otherwise. I have pics in my sig. I did swap my TA dash out with a 97 Camaro dash because i like it better.

I'm the opposite. TA's have it made as far as they have homes for three+ gauges, but seems to genaric to me. The Interior in the TA's kind of reminds me of my cousin's Grand Prix. I like the Camaro interior better. But I'm sold on the WS6 looks. WAY more sexy curves to a WS6/TA.

I am having a hard time trying to find a slick spot to hide some gauges, besides ^^^ His idea. I was going to stick my shift light in the driver's side vent. Far left one. I kind of like the hidden gauge behind the vent. Sneaky.

you can use the camaro cluster, when you swap dashes, so no wiring is required. (you can then put the TA bexel on your camaro cluster to get the better look)
