I've heard pre 74 Novas and Omegas (and others I think) are a direct bolt on replacement. I'm sure someone will confirm or correct me if I'm wrong...

DISC BRAKES THAT WILL FIT FIRST GEN CAMAROS
You can use the spindle, caliper, bracket, or rotor from:
Apollo 73-74
Buick Special 69-72
Camaro 69
Chevelle 69-72
Firebird 69
Grand Prix 69
Grand Prix 70-72
Monte Carlo 70-72
Nova 69-74
Olds F85 69-72
Omega 73-74
Sprint gmc /El Camino 71-72
Tempest 69-72
Ventura II 71-74
They must be disc brake equipped of course. I believe discs became standard in 1970.
Some of the cars listed have the caliper forward of the spindle. You must swap side for side placing the Caliper to the rear of the spindle on the Camaro.And use your Camaro steering arms.
I'm not shure about brake boosters working from every car listed. TheFirebird , Nova, El Camino, and Monte Carlo do for shure.
This is a very complete list.
I've also deleted four piston type from this list.
I have more info on my web page below.

agree with david...he has complete list. did swap on my 69 from salvage parts. good stuff, hard to find. look at master power brakes for conversion if not lucky in salvage yard search. rotors, calipers, pads, hardware got at autozone and pepboys
