interchangeability of parts

Hello,

I'm getting ready to part out a 1996 Impala that I received from a family member and I'm wondering if there is anything on the car that I can use on my 1972 cutlass convertible or supreme? Like the rear disc brakes, rear end, etc.......
I'm going to remove the lt1 and 4l60E and save it for a future project maybe in the future.

Thanks for your help

The rear end should swap. Just check the angle of the upper ears to be 100% sure. 73-up cutlass is a direct swap, but the 72 may have different ears.
The front spindles are also useful. Not a direct swap, but useable if you do the right combination of parts. Ball joint taper holes are different.

Springs should swap, as well.
