You'll need to swap in a dist. Use all the 96 sensors and accessories. IF it comes with an intake manifold, use the 2000 one, but you'll need to use the 96 exh. manifold. Everything else will bolt on just fine, AC, P/S, throttle body, ALT, pulleys, ect. You'll also have to drill the back of the head on the 2000 engine for the coolant temp sensor, easy to do when the engine is out.
If its got the 0331 head keep an eye out for future cracks.
I see you're in Milton, im just down the hill in Auburn. PM me if you need a hand with anything or have questions.
