yeah i dont see a problem with that. I would watch your emissions on your car , there are 2 different emissions systems that will change some of the components that attach to it. As with any engine job I tell people to always pad their numbers while looking financially to do this as there is always gaskets and fluid , misc nuts and bolts that will break especially on a older car like this . The engines (La1) are pretty much the same, you can move a year or so and be ok

So I would have to buy extra fluids and bolts is what you saying? I was told that sometimes the conections won’t be the same.
