Camaros, Chevelles, and Novas got the BB oil pan with the gradual up-slope from the sump area toward the front of the engine. 
Impalas and the like got the oil pan with the secondary step before the gradual up-slope. 

Corvettes got their own special oil pan when a windage tray was used.  These were L/71, L-88, ZL-1.  I don't believe the L/36 or L/68
had the windage tray provision.  Not really sure what oil pan they used.

Hope this helps a little....
