i thought it was because the 00-02 ones had the exit hole on the back right side of the lid and the 98-99 did not.

correct, on the driver side is the hole for the air pump to pull filtered air to inject into the exhaust manifolds.

That looks like the plug they send with the lid if you order for a 98-99. Couldn't tell you exactly what it is, but it was a huge pain in the *** to get plugged into my lid. It took longer to do that than it did for any other part of the installation.
