steering wheel question
You need the wheel, airbag, and the clockwork spring.
Then splice the wires from the clockwork spring to the radio harness. That is all.
Hopefully, you have an extra pin to insert into the radio harness for the radio control input.

Yea you must have the airbag from the 2002 Camaro wheel.
If you don't want to use the wheel controls you can skip the clockwork spring. They are about 200 from the dealer or get one on ebay, 10-20.
The extra pin... I usually take a super small screw driver and use it to get the pins out of an old harness I don't want anymore. Someone will be able to sell you one or buy new ones online.
The wiring isn't too bad. I have done it before.

So, bringing this back from the dead.
I bought a same-year steering wheel with audio controls for my non-steering-wheel-control equipped car. The horn works fine and the airbag is connected (re-used my old one).
There are no wires coming out of the steering column to plug into the connector on the steering wheel for all of the controls. What parts can I get from a junkyard and how would I pull them and install it so everything works? I am planning on keeping the stock headunit for now.

Bump... I have a '99 with no steering wheel controls and have located a '99 donor car WITH steering wheel controls - what do I need to do to get steering wheel audio controls working on my car?

If I'm not mistaken, with a factory wheel to a factory unit you only have to add one wire. Someone speak up if I am incorrect on that. because I am about to tackle the wheel switch this weekend.

You need four wires but I'm not sure if some of them may already be there or not. The four wires are switch power, switch output to the head unit, switch illumination power, and switch illumination ground.
Figured it out through more searching... "clockwork spring" meant SIR coil...
So everything necessary for the swap is:
wheel with controls
SIR coil
wiring harness that runs from the SIR coil under the column to the radio unit
