Yes the new dash is a direct replacement. Them metal tabs at the top by the windshield have to be bent down some but it will go right in. Be sure you have the wiring harness for the controls.

SN dash's can be installed to but they have to be trimmed down at the windshield by about 4 inches. The only major issue with those is that they interfere with fox door handes. Some just trim the handles until they are nubs, some relocate them back a little and others just fab up new handles and door panels for a custom look.
