Default Drag Racing

I own a 1978 Monte Carlo, that I intend to drag race when the time comes. I want to modify the car completly and make it my own. I cant seem to find parts for g-bodys, but I keep running into just a-body parts, can I put a-body parts from like a 73' Monte onto a 78' Monte without having to modify a whole of the body or suspension?
