Installing Cruise Control, thoughts Options

[97celiman]

alright so the 3 options i dont have for my car are premium sound, CC, and abs
i dont know why, i know it started life as a company car (partly why i bought it maintenance was spot-on)
my question is this, besides getting a knew steering wheel assembly (or just the CC wheel control part) what else is involved in installing cc? is this even fathomable? no i would not be doing this-way over my head, just getting the parts and giving to some sort of shop (or someone on here tweak *cough*)
does it involve messing with ecu/harness i know you need the computer in the engine bay, do you need other fuses and all that?

any thoughts would be appreciated
thanks

if it helps you any...

on my prizm all the wiring is there for cruise control, but i lack the stalk switch, the cc computer, the vacuum modulator, its mounting bracket, its cable, and where it hooks to the throttle body.

you'll pretty much need all those things as well, a junkyard car would be a good place to get all that...however...some things may be in different locations in the engine bay because you don't have cc. so the modulator mounting spot could be taken up by part of a fluid reservoir or something. my gf has 2 escorts, one has cc and one does not, both of the same gen. the one with cc has a different coolant reservoir than the one that does not.

ya thats what im wondering, the placement issue. could someone with cruise control take a picture of their engine bay and post it and circle the c/c flux capacitor : )
