Which harness

Painless was on the bottom of my list. I will consider other harnesses just want to one that’s easy to install and will work easily with a digital dash and aftermarket steering column.

That might limit your options. I'd figure out the connections on those two things first then look at harnesses. If you have an aftermarket column it likely has GM connectors which would actually work seamlessly with the AAW harness. The digital dash is probably LED lit so that may require a lighting inverter that you will have to figure out how to connect to to whatever harness you buy. Anything digital is not going to just plug and play with an OE derived harness whether it's based on a GM design or not.

I should clarify my previous post a little bit. I don't fall into the 'typical installation' category. I have pretty specific ideas about how I want/need things and have no problem altering stuff to make it work the way I want. Most people who buy these kits want them for convenience though so if that's what you're after and you're not planning on changing things, the AAW kit may work fine. I don't know anything about the Painless one but my guess is it's similar. Frankly, I don't know anyone else who would pay that much for a harness and then cut it up like I did. Like I said, I probably should have bought a bunch of bulk wire and connectors and made my own harness. Would have saved me a lot of headaches and money.

Just be aware of the things I mentioned before you pull the trigger. There's other options out there but they will probably be much more generic which may not be what you want either.
