 the privet survive with the sweet peas growing all over it and blocking out
 what little light there is in shade, and can it survive in zone 3a?

Esther, you probably don't know privet because it does not prosper in zone 4.
The hardiest privet (ligustrum) has large dead patches most winters although
the roots may survive.  The better forms and species are not hardy in zone 5.
