No, don't. I'm doing both an LSx third gen and an LSx '89 Mustang. (As well as an LSx Fiero.) Easier to do the stang, lighter, already has the 8.8 axle, etcetera.

One thing I'm confused about is the wiring. Like I would like to put in the camaro gauge cluster and use it, but how would I wire it up? Or is the wiring harness that I buy will have it?

Isn't all that I have to worry about is the 5 plugs that are left in the harness. The c101, etc and 220? Just wire up what I want is what I would think to do?

Also how are you guys getting power with key in run and start? Do have like a fuse panel just for the run and start hot wires and another fuse panel for the always hot wires?

Only take out the fuel injection and computer harness, leave the rest for headlights and turn signals and starter. It is just the wires on the drivers side.

Does anyone know about the Air Conditioning compressor hookup?
