Physically yes
Wiring may be an issue
do you have the TCU to go with the older box ?
It may work or you may need the TCU or you may need to change wiring as well as TCU.
Stick it in and see

Nope. 97 box is what they call the phase 1 box, 99 will be phase 2 and will have a screw on oil filter on the passenger side. Different TCU and valvebody, not swappable unless you swap the loom and TCU as well
