It depends. The 200-4R WAS factory available in the 1980s B-body cars. The crossmemer is likely different. The G-body cars of that era got a modification to the frame when the 200-4R was released to accommodate the different crossmember location. I don't know if the B-body cars got this mod or not. There is an aftermarket bracket for the G-body cars if the frame does not have this mod. I don't know if this same bracket would also work for the B-body cars.

Yup. This is a total bolt-in.

Actually, the one thing that will be different is the shift quadrant in the steering column and the gear indicator on the dash. If you use the three speed column, you will not be able to manually select first gear. Maybe that doesn't matter to you. The other column will bolt in.
