        I have done this twice with 2 different Camaro's

        There are 4 bolts on each sides, plus 2 on the F/X.
        and you have to pull the push ins as well (I think that is what they are called). also two nuts on the top in the middle by the hood latch, and 2 on each side of the lights. That pretty much covers what I did, but both my cars were carb'd,

        Good luck! and take pics

        Here are the pics of my 2 swaps.

            It's not that difficult at all...just takes time. The only difficult part is getting the headlight bar/bracket assy out of the front facia if you choose to tear it down that far. Getting the top nuts off the facia to fender interface can be a little of a challenge too unless you have micro sized hands.
