You can use the '75-'79 F-Body spindles on an A-Body, but it's not a true bolt-in.
1. A lower ball joint from the F-Body will be used, but you will have to have the body machined down to fit the A-Body lower arm. Hotchkis and Energy Suspension sell these ball joints already modded I believe.
2. An outer tie-rod end from a '79 Chevy Malibu will be needed to mate the spindle to the centerlink/inner tie-rod/adjuster sleeve assembly.
3. (And most expensive) A set of aftermarket tubular upper control arms will be needed. If you use the A-Body upper arm, the geometry will not be ideal, and more than an inch of shims will be needed to get the front end close to alignment. You can get these from Hotchkis, etc.
