Default Gauge cluster interchange

I was going to buy a trans am cluster for dirt cheap I'm pretty sure it will work in my car ( 98 z28) but wanted to make sure and the cluster is out of a 99.
So my question is will the trans am cluster fit my Camaro and will the 99-02 cluster work in my 98?

I am not 100% certain on the details of a Trans Am to Camaro cluster swap, but I can tell you this: On a Camaro, the cluster is not the same for a '98 vs a '99-'02 ('98 temp gauge display is different, pretty sure this is the case for Trans Am as well).

Also, I have read that if you try to put a trans am cluster in a camaro you will smoke it. Something about where certain idiot lights are. Do a search you will find what I am talking about.
