Anything and everything is compatible. It all comes down to how much work and fabrication you want to do and how many surprises you want to show up.
But usually when a person ask a question like that, they mean can I drop in another engine with no alteration and no expected problems whatsoever. The answer is no, almost no engines of different years are interchangeable.
Sometimes is it a matter of sensors mounted in different locations (99-00 is slightly different than 01-03) so that the intake manifold needs to follow to the new engine. Sometimes it is the PCV system that is different (differ between 03-04) so that a lot of things has to be changed over and altered.
For your 02, I would look for a late 01 past VIN13055567 to 03 engine to make it the least cumbersome.
