Definitely Chevette. Couple of friends had them in college. The auto
tranny selector and console, the steering wheel, they're all out of the
Chevette. You can even see the HEI distributor on the front of the
engine.
 
Chevettes had I think a 200R4 Auto or a Saginaw 4 speed manual...

Agree with Trevor. Didn't the Pinto use the same OHC 2 Liter as the
Capri? 
There's no sign of the OHC on that engine as you should see the
serpentine 
belt and pulley on the front of the rocker cover. I had a couple of
Capris. 
The later one (1974?) had an auto in it and was a real dog! I think the
OHC 
engine is too tall to cram into a Spridget bay. Did the Chevette come
with 
an Auto tranny? 

Cheers!!
