It is not possible to degrade Gnome 3 classic to Gnome 2. Since Unity and Gnome 2 are different desktop , It is not possible to make Gnome panel as Unity's. Unity's panel developed using it specific packages that may not suitable with Gnome 2.
There's always the option of installing MATE. It's basically a fork of Gnome 2.x, and it supports recent versions of Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Fedora, etc.
You could install gnome classic on Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
And when you are going to enter your password on the greeter screen, Click on Ubuntu icon near your username, and select "Gnome Classic"
