Third gen axle to fourth gen swap

I have an 89 camaro with a 10 bolt in it. A friend of mine wants to buy it for his fourth gen since his recently took a few teeth off the gears, my question is are the third and foruth gen rear suspension setups the same other than breaks such as coil spring mounts control arm/panhard bar mounts and what not. hoping to just switch them out in the next few days if they are. Any information would be awesome thank for the helop

Re: Third gen axle to fourth gen swap

is the third gen more narrow or is it the other way around ad will it still work if we do the swap?
