Regarding the differences, read THIS (http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=117026&highlight=hood). Especially post 15.

Regarding the springs, read THIS (http://www.camaros.org/underhood.shtml).

Also go to the home page and look under "Numbers Decode", down near the very end.  Shows original date stamping and another pic of a hood left rear corner.  I've seen some stamps that are halfway off the edge, or lightly stamped so you may need to remove any built-up layers of paint to find it.
