For the most part, the differences are just cosmetic. Everything should bolt up without a prob.

The whole headlight assembly for the Camaro is kinda a pain.. and I don't think there was any diff over the years... but double check me.... but the fenders should be the same.. so it would be the 2 bolts on both sides to unbolt from the fenders, then all the plastic annoying pieces on the bottom, and a few various nuts and bolts.. then just swap them out and take a good look back there once the nose cover is off... to make sure there isn't any other damage you can't see.
