Default 67 camaro leaf spring question/problem

ok i had a mono leaf in my 67 camaro, and bought my buddies 69 convert camaro multi leaf rear end. all this stuff is stock

here is what i used of his
rear end and leafs

what i used off mine
mono leaf shock plates


so the question is will i have to buy new shocks or can i use my original mono ones???

also what is the torque specs for the bolts
shock plate bolts( t-bolt and u-bolt)
rear shackles
front spring eye bolt
front spring body mount ( 3 bolts)

and i left everything loose in the car and dropped the rear end already, so let me know so i can tighten it all off tommorrow thanks

I use german torque specs on all bolts

gooodentite.

as for the shock question, if you used your shock plates you should be able to use your shocks. the plate changes the location of the shock.

The stock length shocks with the mono plates and Multi Leaf springs will work just fine.
