Patrick at GMPartshouse.com can sell you what you need to do the swap including the airbag, wheel, and other necessary parts.

It's around $800-$900 if I recall correctly. A bit too much for me.

You could also get a custom covered wheel from DSvettes here on the forum. Their work is top notch and it's a bit cheaper than a new wheel.

It's certainly doable, many have. But it isn't "exactly" easy, but again doable. It tends to be pricey because you have to get a new airbag and clock spring. Here are some threads that should help you:
