Its basically the same. The Pontiac will have the front frame brace that other divisions don't have, and the 2+2 will have the higher ratio steering box, which should be the same as a Monte SS or Buick GN. As far as I know, there aren't any other major differences between it and a standard F41 setup. Hope this helps.

To add to that, they all used the same boring 7.625 rear axle as base Grand Prixs and other base G-Bodies. Despite what has been said at times, not all came with positraction. Most had 3:08 gears, some say all had 3:08s. (I have seen otherwise). They should all have the same steering box as the Monte SS, same front sway bar dia... not all had a rear sway bar (ie one or two of the 2:73 geared 2+2s Ive come across) Spring rates I am not sure about but would guess they used whatever the Monte SS Aerocoupe used... ie required the same Monte SS rated springs up front, and likely stiffer-rated rear springs to control the added weight from the rear glass/deck modifications.
As a side note, other than a pair of specially built "Brass Hat" versions, all should have the LG4.
