Can you replace a manual seat with a power one. I didn't know if there was already power ran under the seat that you could just plug the harness into?
And i suppose you would have to change rails as well.

Don't know if this would hold true on the Corvette but all the wiring harness were installed at the factory on my 96GT DD. They did this so if you opt to have an accessory, they would just install it and plug it in. By doing this on all the car coming dn the assembly line had the basics ready to go, it would be too much a pain in the butt if they did not do this. There was a C3 at OC NJ this yr that had C5 sports seats in them so if he could do it you should

Look under your seat, if there is a plug, you no doubt can switch to a power seat.Since mine has dual power seats, I cant tell you for sure.
