2nd gen Sub frame question

I have a 73 Camaro and an extra front subframe from a 78. Will they interchange? Wanting to prep new front suspension and install as unit.
Thanks in advance

They should interchange.
Take pictures and measure both and compare.

Measure, measure, and then measure again. If your car and the donor sub-frame are close to eachother, it'll make the job easier.
