Default 75 AIM vs the 76 AIM

Anyone know if there is a significant difference between the 75 assembly manual and the 76 assembly manual?

The 75 and 76 are virtually identical so the manuals should only have very minor differences. Is there a particular procedure you were wondering about?

I've got a lot of interior work to do, as well as, engine work. I noticed that the 75 interior behind the dashes is a little different from my 76.

The floor pans, seat and seatbelt mounting details may differ between 75 and 76. At some point, either during the 75 production run or between 75 and 76, the floor pans were switched from fiberglass to metal. Metal pans eliminated the need for some of the additional reinforcements needed with the fiberglass pans. The metal pans are prone to rust, however, and this is a major reason that my friend is driving his 75 while my 76 is on jackstands in the middle of floor pan replacement surgery.

I need to keep the 76 AIM for my vette (a 76). I'm looking for a 75 AIM for my son's vette (a 75). We just picked it up Friday and I see a lot of things that are different, but was wondering if it is worth getting a 75 AIM or just use the 76. I did notice that the seat belts are mounted differently.
