It's not a simple swap though. First off you have to remember they are backwards, right on left and left on right. This will lengthen your wheelbase also. At minimum you will need to relocate your shock mounts and you may need to relocate your upper control arm mounts and spring buckets. They also take 5" springs instead of 5 1/2" springs so you'll need new springs.

The nova's are rear steer. Thats why when you use nova lowers you swap sides right on left, left on right.

"yes" I would use pinto spindles on nova lowers because there stronger. I have been seeing a lot more metric cars with nova lowers running metric spindles lately though. Either will work.

67 to 69 Camaro lowers are also the same.
