Default 2nd Gen Camaro headers in A body?

Has anyone here heard of 2nd gen Camaro LS headers being used for a '68'72 A body? I've seen someplace where a vendor had the same part number for both. I've been looking at so many different ones right now I can't remember where it might have been.

4th gen fit. gotta cut the drivers side collector to get it shooting straight back so the exhaust looks a little more symmetrical.

I tried using a set on my '70 Chevelle. It cleared the brake distribution on the drivers side, but just barely. I went with the Hooker cast manifolds. They fit great, but could be a cost issue if the goal is to source cheap manifolds. There are pics in my BT.

I've seen that. I was wondering about a cut and weld or flex connector? I would use one on both sides to make it look symmetrical.
