Default chassis differences 93-97 and 98-02

Hey guys, i recently found a 1994 v6 hardtop firebird for 1000 bucks that i want to make a drag car out of. I already own a 99 TA and would want to transfer some suspention parts off it in the future. Are there any differences that i should be aware of? Im going to completly gut and rebuld the 94 with a LSX platform. As far as i know most of everything is the same? I havnt really heard of anyone doing this with a older 4th gen. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

the only thing that i know of as far as swapping things would be the transmission crossmember mounting points. suspension is all the same.

so they changed the mounting points for the crossmember but yet they couldn't do away with the damn hump on the passenger side floorpan, lol.

I know, I know, that would have required more then just relocating some mounting points, BUT REALLY COME ON HAHAHA
