'98 LC needs new Alpine Stereo - Owner needs help on install.

[Raedeke]

I'm looking to replace my factory stereo (2 din) with a new Alpine stereo (1din) and a storage compartment for my iPod (1 din)
I'd like to keep the factory amp for the time being and would love to keep the dimming, power antenna, etc. functions that the currently stereo has.

Can anyone give me a hand or tell me where I might find some information about a conversion of this kind.

Thanks
Richard

Where is the factory amp located? Got a similar situation switching out my factory stereo with an Alpine... the only difference is I've got a '96 LC. Thanks.
