A lot of parts, hose routing etc.. All different. The IAC itself will work.

Yes

Just about everything.

The 97 -1999 used coil packs ignition systems.

The 2000 + uses COP ignition systems.

The 2001 + models used PI intakes and heads.

The 2002 models had a different DPFE sensor that mounted differently. That was only for the 2002 model year. 2003's used the same mounts, DPFE's as the 2001's and earlier years had.

PCV valve and Cold Climate System had a few hose routing variations.

But other than those differences, they're pretty much the same.
