Not a direct swap. You need the engine, trans, PCM, axles, and engine/trans wiring harness, as well as factory service manuals for both years (yours and the donor) for the complete swap.

The PCM, Trans, and Engine need to be from the same year.

I don't recommend doing it without a donor car. The entire 97-99 system can be made to work and almost no modification to the car'* body is needed but the wiring is time consuming and requires a lot of thought and concentration.

Fuel tank is the same except 98-99 which had a recess for the tank pressure sensor. The fuel lines are different, it helps to have the 97-99 lines and sending unit so there isn't any cutting and splicing.

the A/c system should interchange.

But if done right...(note the donor 99 car in the window)

92/93 SSEi or 92-93 Buick (PA Ultra), or 94/95 SC out of a Buick or Pontiac if you keep your SC, TB, FPR, and EGR.
