Default front clip interchange - does anyone know for sure ?

with EVERYTHING stripped off of the front clips - is the sheetmetal structure itself the same on a Firebird and Camaro ???
( i have an 00 firehawk i would like to save but hit pretty solid in the nose and i have a CHERRY CHERRY 00 camaro front clip )

p.s. i am VERY AWARE that the fenders, bumper cover, etc etc are different
-i just want to know if the skeletal structure is the same

thanks for your time
