Before assuming complete compatibility, you should:
* Verify the specific engine codes: Knowing the exact engine code (e.g., LT1, LS1, 3800) from both cars is crucial. While the engine *bay* is compatible, the engine itself might have variations that require adjustments to the wiring harness, mounts, or other components.
* Check for modifications: Aftermarket modifications on either car could create incompatibility issues.
* Consult a repair manual: A repair manual specific to the 97 and 98 Camaro models will provide the most accurate information about compatibility.
In short, it's *likely* to fit, but always double-check the specifics before proceeding with the swap.
