'01 GA will have class 2 databus, so you'll either need the relocation harness, or the Peripheral interface module (model GMCO, I believe)if you want to keep everything happy and working in the car. Other than that you'll need an antenna adaptor if you listen to the radio. I'm pretty sure the Monsoon system doesn't complicate things in a GA, just make sure you connect your amp turn-on wire (blue) when you wire your harness.

^ Relocate harnesses are about $80 and usually extra labour dollars. The Interface module is more like $140 but it's cleaner and most shops won't hit you with extra labour to install it.

I suggest the interface module.
