Body downgrade. Can someone help me?

I have a '92 firebird. When I got it the front clip was trash. I've tracked down an '85 trans am that looks decent in the JY. Now I have a few questions. I'm curious if everything will just bolt up and be fine? Are the doors the same or do they slightly differ? In order to take the ground effects under the door off will I have to remove the back seat? Will a '91-92 hood fit an '82-90? Im new to f-bodies as of about 3 months ago so Im not completely caught up on all of this.Thanks ahead of time.

alright im a camaro man but ill do what i can ok the doors are the same as any of the 82-92 doors. the ground effects i assume u musttake out the rear seat and remove the plsatic beside them and there is a hole that gives access to the bolt. at least thats how my 86 Z28 is. i am pretty sure the hood will bolt right in with no issues at all. If your swapping the fenders and everything then it should just bolt right up. Mabye some bird owner will chime in and correct any of my mistakes but im about 98% sure it will bolt right up. Good luck
