No.
At least, not without some serious fabrication. You'd need a bracket that could withstand about 2000 lbs of load without deflecting more than 1/16" or so.
On the other hand, your car is 85; so it has the hydraulic system. But you'll need a different BH because a 6-cyl BH won't bolt to a V8 anyway.
You need the right bell housing, which is a 84-92 V8 Camaro/Firebord one. Easy to find, usually cheap. Nothing else will work without a great deal more effort than just coming up with the right thing.
