Physically they are a direct bolt-in, no mods needed.
If you are putting in power seats though, the wiring will need to be spliced together, because the plugs are different,

Yeah, I had to run wires for the seat, didn't have any wiring there to begin with.

Re: seat question??4th gen in a 3rd gen???
To get the seats to work you'll need to buy the wiring and air line harness from GM or you could make up your own. I followed what this fellow did with my 98 Trans Am leather seats.

You would've found your answer much sooner if you just did a quick search. This topic has been beaten to death here.
