Yep, the front frame horns are longer though so you must compress the bumper shocks to get the malibu bumper to fit correctly but thats it.
Not helping much but I had a bent frame on my 79 Malibu. I replaced it with a 78 Buick Regal frame but I don't know how that compares to an 86. All fit fine except for the longer front frame (compresing the shocks worked fine for me).
Some small things like the fuel lines were different but the Chevy stuff installed right on like it belonged there.

Can't your frame be fixed? It's a lot of work to change frames. There isn't much on a full frame car that can't be fixed by a good frame shop.
X2, I use to run these cars on dirt tracks and we had them straightened all the time.
Was it a direct front end hit? Where is it bent?
