Re: nce between a Camaro and Firebird Dash Pad
Other than the speaker grilles and defroster vents, a Camaro dash has a little portion cut out at the leading edge of the pad to clear the center heater vents in the dash. A firebird one doesn't; it is straight all the way across.
I would imagine you can interchange them, but I don't know if it would look right, and not sure how well a Firebird one would clear those center vents.
Never hears anythng about them being different sizes.

The firebird dashpad is also about 2 inch shorter in width and the holes for the screws do not match.

it is a difference size, will leave a nice gap between the dash and the windsheild, and the holes will not line up. Been there, tried it.
