68 RS grille differs from the 67 in that it has chrome running along the horizontal surfaces. other than that they will interchange. You'll need to change the lower valance as the parking lights move to there from the grill.
Other items: Hood latch is entirely different, horn mounts on the vertical strut, if elec then relays need a home (67 mounts them on the left fender out of site), you need to pierce the firewall for the wiring, fenders are different but they make tab extensions for that.
There is more but those are the big things. Still wanna tackle the change?
FWIW, I've had 6 67's and 5 of those had the RS option.

I know of them but I know nothing about the aftermarket setups. All of my knowledge is of the factory setup. The factory used 6 relays mounted on a plate that mounts on the fender lip on the inside facing towards the outside. It also uses 4 limit switches to tell the relays when the doors are open and when they are closed.
They do make reproduction motors for the 67. They are not correct in appearance but they function the same.
