There is a black cover that rides over the shifter shaft and slides with the shifter. It is available from most of the major Firebird vendors. The gear shift indicator plate is lighted and sits on top of the left side of the shifter (it is covered when you install the "cover"). You need the wiring harness to the light which includes a lamp socket and ground which attaches to the shifter. The wiring should run under the carpet covering the trans tunnel and then back up by the shifter.
I am not sure about the neutral safety switch - I think it is part of the key/column switch. Maybe one of the ATM guys can address this.
