Is the Front Engine Cradle/Subframe the same for all years?

I need subframe for a 97' C5. I thought all years were the same but I found this one for sale and they say different.
Anyone know for sure? Really don't want to buy the wrong part.

I called and they said I can just drill a couple holes for the early abs mounts or they might have an earlier one available.

Your 97 has an ABS module in rear so ABS cradle mounts don't matter.

If nothing else is different about the two, then it shouldn't matter.
