The 87 tank has a well for fuel injection and the 2000+ Camaros have LS engines and the right fuel pump pressure for your engine.
A little plumbing and a 10 micron filter.........only money !
I've always used a Delco EP381 pump on a stock '87 hanger in the '87 tank for square body swaps. I never thought about using a Camaro pump assembly in the '87 tank, but I looked at some pictures after you mentioned it and they look very similar in size. I like it because the Camaro assembly has quick connect fittings instead of the hose barbs on the '87 hanger. Thanks for the tip!

Someone on the board told me about this set up, just passing on what worked for me!
