As long as its not supercharged you should be fine. If one or the other is an L67 then it won't marry up to an L36 Normally aspirated engine.

We need a few more specifics to give you more info? What happened to the Bonne? Lemme guess....upper intake failure?

Can you put your year and trim level (SE/SLE/SSE/SSEi) in your signature?

You can put either engine, L36 (n/a) or L67 (supercharged) in your car. The L36 should be a direct replacement, and will require just plugging all existing sensors into it.

The L67 will require all wiring, and a computer that go with the L67, but both will bolt in fine physically.

If you're going to do the L67/PCM swap, you also need the trans. Not only will the 4T60E you probably have NOT work with the 98 PCM, the differences in the GP PCM'* and ours may be too incompatible with our chassis.

You can grab any L67/trans and then find a Bonnie Wiring setup. Just plug in the bonneville sensors, and get some Bonneville Manifolds.
