I don't see why they wouldn't swap out. The 3rd gen camaros and firebirds are the same cars with different body panels and badging. With the exeption of the front of the cars I think everthing is completly interchangable.
Nose, headlights, fenders, and hoods or the only parts I can think of that are different. Could be more though.

Yep it'll bolt right up. I swapped an 85 f-bird tilt steering into my 88 Camaro no problems. I did use my original camaro steering wheel because I didn't like the way the fbird design was.

The airbag columns are different. among other things the shaft is smaller and the housing bigger on an airbag column. So the non air bag wheel will not fit.
