The only difference I am aware of that addresses your question, is the 2+2 is @ 6-8 inches longer.

 

The driveshafts between the two differ by 11.8 inches for the 75 models and 11.82 inches for the 76-78 models.

 

The wheelbase for the coupe is 90.7 inches and the wheelbase for the 2+2 is 102.6; a difference of 11.9 inches.

 

The coupe and 2+2 body both share the same components from the front door pillars forward while the body differs from the rear door pillar backwards by 8-12 inches due to the 2+2's rear seat and pop-out side vent windows.

 

Hope this helps.

Another oddity, 2+2 and coupe windshields do not interchange. One or the other is about a 1/4" smaller in all directions. I varified this with multiple windshields too, I just can't remember which one was smaller, though I believe it was the 2+2 windshield that was smaller.
