Feild Trip to the Bone Yard!

Well, I've been waiting a long time to take a trip to the u-pullit yard and I've come back with some observations and questions... First off, my friend and I were looking for a door for his mustang and whatever there was that would fit my Firebird... After an hour of walking around, we found 1 firebird, 3 mustangs and probably 20 3rd gen camaro's and 5 2nd gen camaros, and if not completely hillarious, there were probably 30 wrecked Ford Probes! There was one 140 speedo that had been trashed and all the cuage clusters had either a hole where the Tach was or the oversized fuel guage... (yecchh)

Anyhow, what parts off of a camaro aren't compatible?

If I see a cool 2nd gen part how likely is that to fit?

How common is my experience that there are alot more trashed camaros than firebirds?

I'm probably 4-5 hours from CT, but I'd probably drive that far to a F-body junk yard, where is it and what is it called?

Of the camaros I was looking at, condition was as suspected... no carbs, no aircleaners and only MPFI fuel injectors had been untouched... oh yeah and the el camino's 2 barrel carb was still there...

Thanks
