Default Steering column swap - from 97 to 98 and general removal questions

I kinda doubt this, but has anyone swapped a steering column from a 98 into a 97? Or does anyone know if it is not possible, if not, why?

The reason I'm asking is that I have a 98 parts car, and a 98 sport steering wheel/airbag that doesn't seem to be selling so I'd like to try and swap it into my 97. As you know, the 98 wheel will not with 96/97 steering column.

Any has anyone removed a steering column in general? How much work is it?

I'd rather just drop a 96/97 sport steering wheel in but they are impossible to find and even if I could find one I'd rather not have to spend money on it .

Thanks !

Default i seem to remember some posts on this. iirc it will bolt right up no problems....

i think the only difference is the splines for the wheel as you noted.
