82-86 power mirror fit a 91?

*sigh* been searching the boards and reading for an hour.. found lots of stuff on side mirrors.. 4th gen conversions, power conversions.. ect ect but not if a 82-86 power side mirror will bolt onto my 91 camaro(yes mine is power but is dented) without any problems.

I found a bunch on ebay but no power ones for 90-92, but did find one that says it will work on 82-86.

I have also already trolled my local Salvage yards and found tons of manual/cable mirrors on 3rd gens but not a single power one

Can someone tell me if a power side mirro from a 82-86 camaro will bolt up to my 91 Camaro without any problems?

here is the ebay link for the one I found for sale.

Thanks in advance

They should fit but why bother tracking down a power mirror? You can easily swap out the power motor from your dented mirror & put it in the body of a manual mirror. When I put power mirrors in the 92 I just swapped out the motors/manual guts so I wouldn't have to do any painting
