There is no real difference in the body structures of the two cars so swap away. The rear end ratio is most likely different and you could choose based on your intended use of the finished vehicle. There is a chart around with the ratios. I'll try to find it and post back if someone else doesn't. The clutch setup will swap as everything is just bolt on.

The sunroof may be the most difficult issue if the '84 plain Jane didn't have one.

Installing the 5.0 V8 is going to be the most fun. Check this link out for some of the fine details: http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=250257
