NO, the Camaro-Firebird sub was re-designed in 1970 and is not compatible with 68-72 Nova.

The 68-74 Nova and the 67-69 Camaro/Firebird are similar and have the steering linkage BEHIND the crossmember (called rear steer). The 70-81 Camaro/Firebird and 75-79 Nova have the steering linkage in FRONT of the crossmember (called, surprisingly enough, front steer).
