Default 73 camaro clip

Hi can anyone tell me if the ball joints and bushes are interchangable between all camaro clips up to a 75,my clip has the steering box in front of the crossmember but up till now this is the only difference i can make out from loads of pictures ,areall the arms etc the same as they look itto me?!
Also is there a rack i can use with a standard clip to lose the steering box , as i have fabbed the clip intomy 50 3100 and want to losethe box without getting bumpsteer in the process .
Thanks guys , ASH

The 2nd gen camaro front suspensions are basically all interchangeable.

I haven't been able to run down a kit to put rack and pinon in a 2nd gen.

What's are your issues with the stock steering from the camaro?

Cheers for the info, what ive done is cut the crossmember ouof the camaro one , boxed my truck chassis and welded the crossmember into the truck chassis, that supplied the front lower mounts and engine mounts , then i fabricated the lower rear mounts and top mounts , so now the steering box will not bolt upto the frame as the the truck frame is narrower than the camaro.so now ive got to find a rack that will mount in front of the crossmember with a measurement ofapprox 60cm between swivell joints , is it 100% critical that this width is perfect to illiminate bumpsteer?
apparently the width of a jag lh rack is 28cm from the centre of the rack to swivel joint so i take it this may do, am i right? i have so many questions i dont want to get it wrong! for example could i put the lh hub on the rh side so i can mount a rack on the back or would this change the castor angle etc ?
Thanks ASH

Steering geometry is way over my head...but I would wager that it's best left to experts....

Might check with art morrison at http://www.artmorrison.com/ if anyone can steer you in the right direction those guys can..
