Yes, the rear decklids can be swapped, but keep in mind the springs (torsion bars) are different depending on whether the Fiero has a bare decklid, one with a rack, or one with a wing.

There is an adjustment for the springs, but it may or may not be enough to keep a heavier decklid raised when it's lifted.

I have the non-wing torsion bars on my car (which does have the wing), and after adjusting them they hold the lid up fairly well, but the first few inches of travel are pretty stiff.

Hey there may be a deck in the locker. Currently the locker that we used in Cloverdale is being closed. It is paid for up to the end of the month and there is still a fair bit of parts in it. If you need directions and am interested, let me know, but this is only to the end of the month. PS  All that is in there is free now.
