swapping tranny

I want to put a t5 tranny in my 76. Does anyone know which years will fit from a camaro or what years are better than others.

Are the splines the same if from a camaro?

Header question

Can the headers from a 350 be used on a 400 small block? I'm thinking of swapping over in the 76.
