If both engines are supercharged, then yes it will swap over. But to be on the safe side, take your 2000 sensors off the engine and put them on the 99 engine. Sensors tend to change over the years. And whatever brackets don't match.
And to be even SAFER. Remove the oil pressure sensor first before pulling the engine. I've broken 2 of them on different occasions.

What are you doing? Are you swapping super charged engine for supercharged engine?

Then the harmonic balance will be fine. Oil pan, I DOUBT you would have to swap it, but just eye ball it when you have them out. Only reason I can think of if you have to swap pans is if your getting an engine from a rear wheel drive car.
