Default Auburn gear differential Installation

I'm considering replacing my 1998 Camaro's stock differential with Auburn Gear differential part #542041. If I do, will I also need to purchase the Auburn Gear Differential Service Kit part #541011? Thanks for you input.

OMG, how hard is it to understand that internal forum is for things related to the INSIDE of an ENGINE.

I've been asking several questions about updating various engine parts on this forum. I guess I was just used to selecting this forum if I had a question. I didn't intend for anyone to get upset or blow a gasket because of the differential installation question that I asked.
