Will a '97 rearend fit my '00?

My buddy pulled the 9" he had in his '97 Camaro, he asked me if I wanted it. Will a 9" made to bolt to a '97 bolt right up to my '00 Camaro? Will I need to get a shorter or longer driveshaft? What about U joints, do I need new better ones?

If you want to keep LS1 brakes and the LS1 parking brake setup you'll need to swap your backing plates. Depending on what channel abs setup the 97 had you'll might have to change a few things to make everything work in your channel car.
