You just need to unscrew the blade, remove it, slide out the cam/shaft and slide yours in. The newer ones have a larger cam than the 98-99's.

Use a little blue loctite on the blade screws when you re-install them so they don't get sucked in.

The cam on the end that the cable attatches to is smaller on the 98/99 cars.

You will still need to mod it. They came different from the factory.

You'll need a new TB shaft/cam, they are one piece. The cam is the thing that has the cable passing over it which rotates when you step on the loud pedal.

Yep, it's just as simple as swapping them out. Check out the FAQ sticky in this section, it's got TB porting pics and should show how to remove the shaft/cam.
