Won't fit.
Get rid of that air cleaner, it is a big performance loser. Besides the danger of it getting sucked into the engine or catching fire, it is highly restrictive; it's strictly a street-rodder play-pretty, not a go-fast piece.
Yes you are wrong about the driveshaft length and modle years; the 200 trans was used only in 82. 83 up used the 700. 83-2002 driveshafts are all the same length.

my 1984 shop manual does not...
my 1983 camaro brochure shows that there are 4 transmissions available for 1983...
a 4 spd manual
a 5 spd manual
a 3 spd auto
and a 4 spd auto
the 200 tranny was available in 1983... unless they screwed up on all this stuff...
(the 200 trans was only offered in sport coupe and berlinetta in 1983)
