Default are consoles same?

hey guys, im planning on running over to the local boneyard and scoping out what they have.. i have yet to decide what i want to do as far as my shifter for my planned th400 swap..i was wanting to go get a donor console so if i did decide to go with a aftermarket such as a ratchet shiter or what have you.. i could hack up a spare console and keep mine so if i go back stock. i am still leaning toward the factory modified shifter for stock appearance. i have been reading and reading and reading and its seems to be the m6 consoles are more easily adapted for the aftermarket shifters? am i correct? my question is..do i have to get a m6 console out of a 98 up car or will an older one (lt1) be the same..that goes for the a4 as well..i am sorry not too familiar with what cosoles/ colors changed with what year as well as design (cupholder etcc)..just looking maybee to score a backup incase i dedice to break out the saw and do some hacking..by the way i searched this and couldnt seem to find anything (consoles) if its here..i am sorry didnt see it..

The Lt1 cars, '96 and earlier, are different! You will have to buy the entire center console (upper and lower) to swap them out.
