radiator will be the same, but the l98 would have the dual cooling fans
tbi and tpi metal lines are the same, but the rubber ones at the motor will be different i believe.

great place for wiring info on the C207 (psgr side, interior connector) and C100 (driver side firewall) connectors can be found here:
