You also need the HVAC box out of a VR/VS to line up with the vents. Not sure but the vents may be swappable?
edit: the vents have to be swappable I put a VS HVAC in my VN now i think about it.
Black box under the steering wheel will be for your power windows.
Also a SII engine harness wont fit stright on, temp sensors are in different locations so those wires are different lengths for starters.
Good buy for $100! Ive got one in each car. Payed $75 for one and $100 for the other. But people are starting to realise the rarity or them and can often see them appear around $300.

Im not sure with that date, either wait for someone to reply who knows or go looking for the thread in this section that had all the updates and at what date they were done. Its a old thread now but I remember it and it had some good info.
