Steering Column Questions

[Motion_Z]

Some SOB tried stealing my daily driver (an 1987 IROC). Lucky for me they didn't know what the heck they were doing...hehehe.

However, they did manage to peel the steering column so I've decided to swap it out for a steering column with a few more options then the original had like tilt, cruise and intermittent wipers.

Now I have a few questions:

1) How can I tell if the replacement column came out of a vehicle with VATS?

2) I am still trying to gather the laundry list of parts needed for the cruise control. Can I still swap the columns out without having all the cruise control pieces?

3) What parts do I need for the change from standard wipers to intermittent wipers (i.e. I'm presuming I'll need a new wiper motor but is there anything additional)?

4) Are there any special tools, etc that I should have ready before attempting this swap?

Thanks for your help!
