The Camaro uses a 1310 ujoint with exterior clips. The Firebird uses a 1330 with internal clips and is a larger diameter cap. Cheapest fix is a hybrid u-joint. The yokes don't interchange if i remember correctly. Otherwise take the driveshaft to a shop and have the end changed to 1310 style.

The yoke is bolted to the rear. The slip joint goes to the transmission.

No. The big question is if the drive shaft still the correct length with chevy rear. It might be, I don't know. If it is you should be able to run to most any autoparts store and order a hybrid U-joint as was mentioned above.
