Theres gonna be a gap between the top of the console and the radio, but otherwise yes it will swap in.

Its a pretty common upgrade, Brent has a writeup on his site that goes over the procedure: http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/fbody/console.htm

Sinse we are on the subject, are the cup holders any better in newer consoles? I understand it's a camaro, and not a minivan, but just once I'd like to put a drink there and not have it spill all over everything

Yeah the new ones (which are 97 up, not 99) have 4 cup holders. The one that's designed for the passenger will hold anything much better then the one in a 93-96.

Yeah I know, that's why I said the passenger side one is much better than the (pretty much) unchanged center cup holder in the new ones.

i cant count how many times i have launched soda all over my armrest. I may have to look into a newer style one. I also have the removable arm rest mod, it nets me .0001 gain at the track. Its pretty easy to do you just use the console and the top will snap off. So all need is the console and brackets, i wonder if the local junk yard is cheeper than ebay.
