Depends on what year 2g tranny. 97+ trannies need new inner cups for the axles but you must use the 1g axles since the 2g's are longer. You also need to fiddle with the linkage a little bit. Usually involes swapping over the shift arms. If it's a 97+ AWD tranny, you will need to find a 97+ T-case as well. They changed the ratios for 97.
The starter plate will need to be swapped. I think that is about it. I've done the swap several times. Both FWD and AWD.
