    '97 GTP's have a different vac tree on the blower.

    '98-'03's are all the same.

    You don't swap over the vacuum tree you redo all the vacuum routing to 98+ routing.

    Exactly there's no place on the 98-03 blower that allows you to put the vac tree back in place. Why are you wanting to switch blowers?

    Just go gen V. A little more modding but the results are well worth it.
