Yes. Take the transfer case with you, since the output splines are likely different (doesn't hurt to be sure. I think the AW4 changed for 1990/1991, but it may have been 1991/1992.)
You can adapt the shifter linkage, if necessary, with a kit from Novak. I've heard good reports about their tcase shifter linkage kit.
But, the bellhousing pattern is the same, and the AW4 didn't change (electrically or mechanically) for about as long as it was behind the AMC 6-242 anyhow...

Thanks, I will be using the Tranny/Tcase and Front Diff from the donor, it's parked right next to my MJ when we are working on it so I have access to all cables, linkages etc.
I think my only concern is the Electrical aspect of it, not sure if it will plug right in or whether I will have to start splicing wires.

You will have to lengthen then speed sensor wires. Just splice in some extensions and use heat shrink for weatherproofing.
