Not sure what Dean's advice is based on this post. I take it you're leaving your pistons where they are, so concerns about incorrect pistons aren't an issue.
Anders says "camshafts can be moved over." I assume he means that you can take your camshafts from your old head and put them in the new one. As long as that's the only part that's different (and bearings, rockers etc match), you should be all set. I don't know if these cars have adjustable valve lash. If so, I'd probably get a WIS or other manual and set the lash while I was at it.
So, it sounds like you keep your block, a new head gasket, the '98 head (but swap in your camshafts), and your valve cover, distributor, and other attachments. You'll probably want new head bolts and a new valve cover gasket (yours will be old and cracked and the '98 won't fit around your distributor) too. Sounds like a fun project :)
