4th gen dash: Camaro or Firebird?

I am going to buy a dash out of a 4th gen car and adapt it to fit into my 89rs. Gauges and htr controls aren't a problem. Which dash do you guys prefer? firebird or camaro? Is there a certain year to look for? I was looking at like a 95 camaro dash, but i like the design of the firebird's a little better. From what i understand the dash both have the same mounting brackets? thanks for helping me out guys.

firebird dash looks better than a new camaro dash imo because of the top heater outlets in the middle top.

me and my buddy went to the junkyard today and i found a killer deal on the dash and panels, and seats! it is a 96trans am. i can get the whole dash and door panels(in black leather) for $150 and i can get the black leather seats for $175. Too bad i didn't have that much cash on me at the time. I'll keep you guys updated on what i get done
