It will physically bolt up but to make it look "right", you will need to do a lot of work.
The fender flares are different. You will need to cut out the fender flares and weld in matching fender flares. No having firebird flares in the front fenders and camaro fender flares in the rear, that would look stupid.
Ground effects won't match up. Even if you use 82-84 firebird ground efx or 91-92 ground efx which are the same height as camaro ground efx, the camaro ground effects curve in towards the wheel. Best thing to do is go without ground efx.
It would be perfect to do if your rear fender wells are rusting out. Anyways, if you don't weld in the fender wells, don't even bother attempting it.
