Im not sure if it will fit right. The center vents on the camaros stuck out a little farther and the camaro dash pads actually had a lip to incorporate into the vents. The firebirds didn't have that center vent.

But, as I understand, there is about a small difference in depth, front to back. Meaning, a Firebird one will fit to the glass, but not reach the hold-down screws. Or starting at the screws, not reach the glass.

Im referring to the center dash lip that goes over the vents. If you look in the pic you can see it circled in yellow. I dont know if it would work right if you used a firebird dash because I didn't think they had that lip?

No, I attempted to put a dash pad from a 91 firebird into my 88 Camaro. I forget exactly why it wouldn't work, but it was off a little in size and the screw to hold it down didn't line up.

Yeah, if your referring to swapping the dash pads, it won't work. The corners are quite different and it won't sit or line-up properly.
