Yes, the A body and G body are basically the same under the skin, including suspension.

As for your other question, and with all due respect to the great Forum, the 78-87 A & G bodies are kind of orphans here, so they are usually listed in the Big Pontiacs section. That's not to say there is NO interest, there are a lot of knowledgeable and helpful folks here, but (and I hope I'm not stepping on any toes here), the G Body Forums (https://gbodyforum.com/) are strictly for those cars. I spend time on both forums, and have had a lot of great input on both.

Love the looks of that black LeMans. I had a black 78 Grand prix, same rims and honestly I believe the same tires. Loved that car as it was in awesome shape. It had a 301 and I could usually beat my friends 81 Camaro with a 305.

I've seen metric A body Lemans with Pontiac 400s swapped in them a few times.

I was told that those cars are lighter than my second gen F body, which I don't have a hard time believing.

There is no other 1978 Pontiac LeMans or Grand Am around these parts anymore. Like someone indicated...........they weren't considered desirable like the Trans Ams ........so most stuff went to the crusher. This is my 78 Grand Am. I bought 15 years ago.........did a body off ........dropped in a 76 400 out of a Trans Am.........changed the rear gears from 2:29 to 3:08. Had my interior redone in original material. It's not fast..........but it runs nice. I'll try to post some pictures.

I think it looks great. And ... with a 400 and 3:08 I'm sure it gets out of it's own way no problem.

Nice ride!

Beautiful car! A black/red interior '79 Grand Am caught my eye as a teenager, but they were hard to find even back then.

Nice G/A! I bet it is a fun combo compared to the 301 it came with. Those 2nd Gen G/A's were never very common.
