Default Any difference between the 98 and 99 cooling system?

I'd like to add a little 'bling' to my engine compartment. I'd like to change my hoses to a set of red Samco silicone hoses. All the kits I've found state they are for 97-98 Corvettes. I have a 99 and was wondering what difference, if any, there is.

Go ahead and buy the hoses. My GM Parts Manual shows that the '99 C5 has all the same (coolant) hose part numbers as the 97-98.

Sorry, just saw this post now....buy the hoses with confidence as there is no difference in part number between those years.

Thanks guys. I thought it would be ok. I just wanted a little validation. When I get this whole mess back together I'll have pics, maybe a video and some dyno numbers.
