    simple answer.

    No.

    Would require a full harness rewire.

    The second one looks like a pregen unit, so fitment would be questionable...

    I would just stick to the dual climate control since it was a factory upgrade...

    i get the feeling that at least part of the one with the dials is vacuum controlled, which would include running vacuum lines throughout your dash
    99 GT - top swapped, S2X cam. - sadly, sold
    96 Firebird Formula - T-tops and exhaust leak. 14.26 @ 97.8 - sold
    2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS - stock, in all of it's turbocharged awesomeness

    Yep, the vent output selection dial uses vacuum control on the non-digital one.

    ^that'd make sense. I agree though, hated the digital in my 06. I prefer knobs because i'm either going full blast air or full blast heat.

    Just looked at some of the different parts. Looks like the digital just has a separate box for the vacuum lines (makes sense) so the vacuum lines wouldn't be the problem. Would need to change the wire harness. A lot of splicing to change to knobs.
