i believe that the dashpad on camaros is notched out a little for the heater vents in the middle, and birds do not have this. from what i've heard, a camaro dashpad will fit in a bird, you will just have a notch for no reason

unfortunately they are not interchangable. THe firebird dash board is about an inch shorter then the camaro's. Making it a no go. I tried this myself... found a mint t/a dash and wanted to put it in my iroc... but unfortunatly that inch kills.
