Correct HP axels for 79-81 BOP disc rear

Moser website only shows axles for Chevy 10 bolt in a 70-81 Camaro and nothing for 70-81 Firebird?

Will they fit the BOP 10bolt housing? Does the axle length change between disc or drum rear?

Priming may not be needed, but having the valve covers off and seeing oil arrive at all rocker arms on a solid lifter build is rather comforting.
