Sure those will work. But plan on some welding to adapt the seat mount brackets.

I just asked the same question a couple of weeks ago. I even email ground up to see if the sliders are the same, the camaro seats will sit you lower in the car. the backs thinner. if your going to have to weld in your bucket seat bracket anyway I shouldnt be that big of a deal. Jim

Years ago I put in some Firebird buckets - probably early to mid '70's vintage. My Elky was originally with a bench. I used the Firebird seat rails, not Chevelle. I had to cut about 3/4" and 1" off the front seat rail legs as the floor is not level at the two mounting points. I can't remember if they sat any lower than the bench, but it didn't matter to me (I'm 6'5" so lower is GOOD) I then mounted a 1/4" bolt up from the bottom and secured it with large fender washers on each side. Now I had a secure stud and could tweek the seat height by using a nut below the seat rail flange. The system seemed to work well. The welding required was to remount the cut off bolt pads back on to the front rail legs. (maybe 10 minutes at a welding shop) I don't think I had to do anything to rear.

My 69 Chevelle had the same seats in it. They set close to 4 inches lower with the camaro sliders.
