Cool Can a 2004 Engine replace a 2002?

I did a precursory search and didn't find anything regarding my question so I hope I'm not asking an obvious or Over-asked question. I have a 2002 C4S which I purchased with a blown engine (IMS complete failure). I am going to check out a 2004 996 3.6L Engine from a car with front end damage so I'm hoping the engine is good. What would be needed to put a 2004 996 into my 2002 C4S? Also, my C4S has a manual transmission where as the 2004 has a tiptronics auto tranny, will there be a problem using my flywheel and tranny?

If I purchase the engine, I will definitely have the IMS checked/replaced and possibly install the IMS guardian. Anything else that anyone suggests I replace on the 2004 engine?

Plenty of summer left to get my C4S running and hit the streets with it!

Thanks for your help in advance.
