I'm sure you have looked already but no, not without serious fabrication. They are two entirely different setups. Are you the one with the black SLP camaro?

If the swap was possible, there would be a sticky or lots of threads on how to do it. If you want to do something to a third gen and can't find anything in the archive about it, there's a good chance it can't be or hasn't been done.

it has been done, but it involves cutting both cars in half and grafting the firewall forward from the 4th gen onto the 3rd gen. Nothing is a bolt on, and its a major undertaking.

chances are they just swapped the rack, or they had no clue what they were doing and though they already had a rack. I would be more inclined to believe the latter.
