I want to put a 1970 front bumper on my 1971 chevelle so it can be fitted with fog lights in place of the turn signal lenses. Is this possible? What additional parts will be needed?

It is possible but I would get a 70 elcamino or monte bumper as it will have round signal openings instead of the rectangles the chevelle will have.

It wont work. The bumpers have different lines, the 71 has a lower section under the grille and headlights as well as different mounting brackets.
