no you cant becuase the vents are differnet and it wont go back in correctly, first off you need to find out exactly what he put in and didnt put in., you need the 99-00 harness and heater core pull the cc and vents.

lets start over, do you have a 99-00 dash pannel? cause they are the same for 96-00

but if you already have the 99-00 conversion no you cannot put 96-98 in and have it work properly.

I think you guys need to clarify what terms you're using for what parts ... mass confusion is currently reigning.
