02 Camaro cluster will not read the fuel level properly, and you will have issues with the speedometer.

I am just about to finish my 4th gen dash swap in my '89 (from a 95Z)

Only mods i had to do to the car:

Cut 3rd gen dash stud
Bend lower bracket inwards
Drill a few holes across the top of the firewall
Modify HVAC to work.

Other then that, its just wiring.

Basically??? You need EVERYTHING from 02 Camaro dash. The more wiring you get the better. Then the only thing you need is patience and the ability to read wiring schematics.

Its not something that I would attempt...kind of intimidates... But if I were you, I would head over to thirdgen.org for this information. Here is a sticky that will get you started in the right direciton. Other than that, just do some searching over there. There will be more info for this kind of mod...

Get as much wiring as you can (as justin said), however, only wiring plugs i used are:

Cluster plug + As much wire as i could get.
Plugs for headlight controller (and as much wire as i could get)

Heater control is easy/hard:

For the fan control switch, its a direct plug & Play
For the venting selector, you need to heatshrink vaccum lines together
For the air temp control, a throttle cable needs to be made, and ive yet to figure this one out. Tho, since my car is a summer only car, chances are i wont worry about it.
