Difference between Camaro & Firebird V8 fan shrouds

Hi, I have a 1982 Trans Am. The 82-85 Camaro and Firebird with the LG4 engine use the manual fan. Under the hood both have a slightly different looking upper fan shroud.

Does anybody know if the 82-85 Camaro upper fan shroud fit on a 82-85 Firebird?

Re: Difference between Camaro & Firebird V8 fan shrouds

Camaro shroud upper will not fit firebird lower half-fan opening is different size:firebirds used 17"fan,camaro 18.5"fan.'82 FB shrouds also had a minor difference from '83-85 FB shrouds in that they have a reinforcement rib ahead of the fan bulge that was removed when AC hoses rerouted for 1983.While on the subject of early third fan shrouds,noticed some non-AC cars only had a finger guard instead of a complete fan shroud.
