Default 67 Camaro/66 Caprice Rear End Swap

Hi, I came across a 12 Bolt rear end out of a 66 Caprice that has 33 spline moser axles, narrowed (I plan on tubbing out my Camaro), 5.14 Gears, and I have Disc Brakes on it to swap over to my new one. Everyone I talked to said that it will fit...but I wanna ask the experts/people who have done this before. I did go ahead and buy it because it was only $650 because the guy HAD to get rid of it even though he dumped in about $2000. Figured that was a steal. I'm willing to do any modifications/welding to iT and I'm just wondering if I can make it work. Thanks.

Since it's been narrowed, and you're tubbing the car, width isn't really an issue. Are you mini-tubbing it, and keeping your leaf spring setup?
You'll then need to cut off the coil spring and trailing arm brackets, and weld on leaf spring perches. Or are you going fully tubbed with a 4-link suspension, or?

I plan on doing a full tub and replacing the leaf springs with coil overs and running ladder bars
