Think nothing of...

No matter how copious the evidence, he will think nothing of denying it.

Does he will think nothing of denying it have the same meaning as he will think nothing about denying it in the sentence above?

If you "think nothing of doing something", it means you do it readily and easily, like it's no big deal, and, in this case, you do it without any compunction. I think some people may use "think nothing about doing something" to mean the same, but personally I would recommend the version with "of".
