Camaro and Firebird A-pillars and B-pillars the same?

Title says it all. My a-pillars on my '85 TA buckled under the heat this summer and so I'm in need of a new set. And just to make sure I'm not getting confused... the a-pillars are near the dash and the b-pillars behind you near the back of the door, correct? So are they the same for Camaros and Firebirds with t-tops? How about without?

Also, where can I get those little semi-round plastic pieces that my t-top pins go into? They have two screws on them that look like they screw into the pillars or the roof metal, and a couple of mine are cracked. What do you call those things?

Thanks.

when you say a pillars, i'm assuming you mean the interior panel that runs along the inside of the pillar... in that case, yes, they are the same. pretty much all interior parts are interchangeable between the two cars.

Ok thanks. And for the little pieces that the t-top pins go in, what are those called and where can I get them?
