4.11 to 3.23 do i need new carrier?

I've got an 88 camaro with a G80 rear end that came with the (gu5)3.23 gears. i have the ring and pinion. The gears that are in there are 4.11's. I'm just wondering if I have to change the carrier. I want the original gears back in the car.
thanks.

Odds are in your favor that it's 3 series carrier in there now and the 3.23's will be just fine when you do the swap.

The 3.23 and 4.10 both use the 3 series differential.
