From what I've read, this should be a direct bolt-in. I'm pretty sure it's an 8.2 10 bolt, open, mono set-up. I need to get a Hollinder Manual!!! Thanks, Brian

68-71 were 8.2's if a 10 bolt
72-74 were 8.5's
75-79 could be 8.5 or 7.6's

And yes it's a direct bolt in if mono to mono or multi to multi (multi to mono or vise versa fits with easy mods)

Okay, thanks. From what I've read I figured it would work. I just wanted to make sure before I buy this thing.

The donor car is a '70 Nova (6 cyl. car I think) with an mono set up. I want to put this whole set up under my '68 Camaro Convertible, springs and all. I noticed in one of my supplier catalogs, they list different part numbers for Camaro Convertibles and Coupes with the mono set-up. How do they differ? Which one would sit the car up or down?

Ride height is my biggest concern. In your opinions, or experiences, what would it do to my ride height putting this mono set-up from the '70 nova in my car? Thanks in advance, Brian

The numbers are different due to spring rate, convertibles are heavier so they get a higher rate.
