Default C4 seats

I have a C4 89 Corvette. I am looking to change out my seats and I found some used ones. The used ones have the power buttons on the side of the seat and I don’t have that on mine. Does anyone know if I can get the seats to work and move forward backwards up or down if I purchase the ones with buttons or can they be compatible with my center counsel buttons?

The buttons you are referring to are most likely the buttons for the bladders on the sport seats. They have nothing to do with the forward / back ,etc of the seat mounting frame and motors. There are 4 bolts under the seats bottoms that allow you to remove the entire seat and attach them to your current mounting racks. Many times as seats have worn out previous owners have swapped for the less expensive base seats so you might even find your car has the electrical connector to allow the use of the sport seat bladders. If they are at a good price use them.
