I believe ALL doors from 82-92 on both Firebird & camaro are Identical. The only differences you might find is the atachment places for Ground effects may be different & the interior door trim panels MIGHT attach differently.
For example the firebirds with the molded plastic Door panels use a different bracket for ataching the arm-rest. One can be removed & attached to the other door though.
ANOTHER consideration is the T-top & Convertible cars have an extra piece on the back of the door at the top. Since T-top & convert cars are not as structurally rigid as hard tops they added these little pieces in the door jam to take some of the load.

Thats right! On 3rdgen cars the doors are an impotant part of the structural integrity of the body.
