Will a 99 center console match up in a '96?

Concur, the change to late model was 97 and up.

There are a few options, and "issues" One, either modify bracket and install newer brake handle. Shave down some material /maybe bend the current brake handle.
From what I have heard, the tube for the rear vent doesnt match up. and there is a small gap in the front where it meets with the dash.

96 and down is old-style body and interior, 97 and up is new-style
you can make the console work, but it's not a simple bolt-in swap

Some artful folding of cardboard will fix the air duct. I put in the late shifter, the jury's still out on whether I like it or not. The e-brake really should have the later handle. Look at ehall's build thread about installing the e-brake cable. I got a whole interior from a '98- seats, carpet, shifter, e-brake handle, and built a power driver seat. The color is not a dead match, but it looks better in person than in pics.

Basically it is fitting the linkage to the bracket, and either drilling or using self tapping screws, to mount the new handle.
