Just hope that both side "center" in the same place.
You really want a ball type pivot on the bottom with a strut rod type suspension.
Take a look at some of the stuff for early Mustangs or Chevy II's"

Doesn't apply to the chevelle. They use a conventional lower a-arm, no strut rod. You could get tricky and offset the center bore of the bushing if need be however.
