It's pretty straightforward. The compatability issues are: as MS stated inner driver size, and the other is shifter centering. The springs that center the shifter at 3rd in neutral are in the tranny in late models, and in the gear selector in the cabin in earlier models. FWIW, my spg currently has no centering: early tranny, late chassis. Other than that, it's just gearing that will be different, and that can be looked up by the box number.
As for the actual R&R, if you have an engine lift, and a friend, it's not that bad. Just make sure everything is disconnected and move slowly. The brake master and radiator are probably the most sensitive components in the area.
