Buying used Monsoon HU for `95 Firebird, will it work?

I am buying a stock `98 Monsoon HU with CD player, and I was wondering if it will plug right in to my 95 Formula that has the AM/FM/Tape 7band EQ HU. Will everything be alright as long as I dont add the Monsoon amp? It doesnt have to be a crackin system, just want to be able to play CD`s and have it sound decent, atleast as good as it sounds now with the radio. Thanks.

I just looked at the head unit in the car now and it says "Delco". Is this going to be a problem?

I don't think it will work. Doesn't the Monsoon have a separate amp, while the Delco has a built-in amp?

Does that mean that all outputs are line level outputs, or are they at all amplified? If I do get the Monsoon amp, do I need to replace the speakers?

IT WORKS!!!!!!!

I plugged it in yesterday, and it seems to work just fine. I compared the Delco and Monsoon head units, and they look exactly alike except for the faceplate of course. The Monsoon HU even had the same "Delco Electronics" sticker on it.
