Installing/Changing out seats
Hopefully not in the wrong area.
Has anyone here installed seats from another car? Someone that has an olds with the color seats i was looking for. I just wonder if they will bolt right in or not.

I'm almost certain that they will swap just fine. The C and H bodies are very similar. Take the LeSabre and Park Avenue. The interiors are almost identical. Maybe more rear leg room.
But I haven't actually DONE it, no...

Legroom (front) isn't a difference from H to C. All the differences are from the back seat to the rear. I would expect C body seats to bolt up to H body rails.
Run both seat rails through GMPD to be sure.

I stand corrected! I knew they were longer, but wasn't certain where that length went.
All trunk space, apparently. Well, that bodes well for the interior swapping over then.
