It depends on what year and style of gear you're using. If you're using a cable setup from an 83-86 TC you only have to drop the column, if you're using the 87-88 hydraulic setup, you will have to *remove* the column from the car. This isn't as bad as it sounds, it's only 1 extra bolt. As for the wiring, it'll be pretty easy to see once you're in there. The shift interlock and cruise cancel plugs for the clutch pedal have loop plugs in them. Just pull the plugs out and plug in the harness on the pedal assy.

I'm still working on my changeout, but I've already done the pedals. Plan on a couple hours and make sure you've done some stretching exercises before you start! It all fits but it's real tight.
If you need anything descriptive, email me.
