Default Civic/CRX heater core. Are they the same?

Just for reference, I was under the assumption that the EF Civic/CRX heater cores were the same. After thinking about my first Civic, the controls for the venting system are different. The Civic controls are cable actuated while the CRX ones are electronic.

What I need to know is can I use a Civic heater core assembly in my CRX?

Most of the heater cores are different when i went in to get mine i was going to use the Si one but i tried to put it in and the damn thing wouldn't fit so i had to go back and tell them to to try the standard 1.5 one this is for a hatch also

the part numbers are

Civic: 79100-SH3-A03
CRX: 79100-SH3-A02

the A02/3 at the end of the model number means nothing. its still the same part and you friend that worked at a honda dealer doesnt know crap
