Default Replacing Opti-Spark, Cap & Rotor - Advice?

After all the drama with my car we tore it apart and it ended up being the Opti-Spark. Since the MSD Pro-Billet isn't avaliable until late this month or sometime in February, and I'm paying a car payment and all that I want to get it running. So I want to throw the 96-97 Vented Opti in, along with an MSD Cap and Rotor. My question is, if I get the Vented Opti, will I have to buy the Cap and Rotor that works with the 96-97 or the Cap and Rotor that works with the 93-95's?

Also, where is the best play to get the Vented style opti pretty cheap, I'm not going to pay 500 bucks for the GM Vented one directly from them.
