Question Radiator differences

Will a radiator from a 2000 bolt up with no problems to a 99 car? I know 98 and 99 radiators have the same part #'s, and 00-02 have different part #'s. So they are different, but I don't know exactly what's different about them. Would all the hoses hook up to it just fine? I was told it would work, but I would like to get some more opinions before I committ to buying a 00 radiator. Would I need to modify anything to get it to bolt up?

The only difference I've ever seen between years is the earlier units have a radiator level sensor, the later ones do not.

you can just leave the damn radiator sensor unplugged, mine was freaking out, and my level was good. so the plug on mine is now unplugged and ziptied to the liquid line for the a/c lol.

Thanks for the info.

BTW, wrencher, I didn't 'not believe' you about being able to use it from the other board...lol. I just wanted to know the differences between the years and make sure I don't need to modify anything.
