Default Will a 1998 MN6 bolt up to a 2001 Z diff?

Any potential mechanical or wiring mismatches trying to mate a 1998 MN6 to a 2001 (August 2000 build) Z06 differential a torque tube?

Thanks,

Paul

Machanically I'm most certain the tranny will bolt up to the diff.
Have no idea in regards to the electrical connections.

All the sensors and the connectors will be EXACTLY the same between the 98 and the 01!
