What parts should I remove from a 88 formula to a 92 Camaro RS

Alright I have a 88 firebird that I am scrapping out! It was a 350 tpi car not sure if that's a formula or not! I also have a 92 camaro rs with a 305 that I am going to keep! My question is what parts should I pull from the firebird to put on the Camaro? Stuff like the sway bars or front brakes etc. etc. I'm not sure what parts are better and what will bolt right on! Any help would be appreciated as I need to get the firebird out of my yard! By the way the firebird was already cannablized and not worth rebuilding! If you need any parts from it let me know!

The 350 tpi would be a nice upgrade. Front brakes will be the same. You could check out the sway bars, just measure them and compare the sizes and see which would be a better combination for your car. You could also check out the axle. Is the new one disc or drum brakes? Also check the gear ratios of each car and if the new one is a posi or not incase yours isn't already.

Yeah I know the tpi would be nice but the motor was somewhat built and it never ran right so i kept the long block and sold all the fuel injection. The firebird has disc brakes and it's a 4th gen rear end so i plan on keeping it although it has a really bad howl! Neither have posi rear ends but i wish they did lol! Nice to know the brakes are the same so I dont go through the work of pulling all that stuff! Anything else you guys can think of would be appreciated and thank for the reply!
