It's doable but if you wanna swap the electronics then you'll also have to swap the smog stuff. When I rolled my 98 and bought a 97 it didn't have any interior conveniences so I swapped all of hte interrior harness stuff as well as the power doorlocks in the door and the windows. The interior harnesses were a PITA: you pretty much will need to strip all the carpet out and take the whole dash appart. Now since you're swapping all of that stuff in you might have to swap the dash as well which is even more PITA. If I was you I'd swap just the drivetrain and skip on everything else.
