Not sure on the axle tube length and where the brakes end up but I'm hoping they're very similar so the wheels don't change their spacing.
I have a GN and I was thinking of getting a Moser for it so I'll pass down the 8 5 to my GTO and build it to 30 spline, hardened 3.90 gears, TA Cover and Tru Trac.
What are 8 2" Nodular, 3.55 rear ends going for us?

Can be done, but not exactly a good fit. The G body is about 3” narrower. The center control arms bolt up, but are in different positions, and makes the pinion angle wrong and the suspension binds up. IRC the spring perches may be in a different position between an A and a G also, G is centered more on the axle. All that is workable, a couple places make control arms to correct the geometry, you can weld on the correct spring perch, and run a 1” wheel spacer to get the tracking closer. I put one in an A body many years ago. Not by any means is it a clean easy swap.
I am going to say $750 decent to $1500 for a nice rebuilt 3.55 8.2 N case.
