Just caught up on the earlier posts, just a few other things to note:
On the 98-99 shifter, the shifter selection was read in using a part in the shifter called the "Range Recognition Switch", I believe it utilized voltage-coding to read the position. The ESM uses a potentiometer instead of a switch.
On the ESM, the back-up lamps relay is integrated into the shifter instead of in the fusebox.
The ESM is also in charge of reading in the input from the kick-down switch (throttle function) and putting that info onto the CAN Databus.

EDIT:
PS I don't think the transmission would be a stumbling block to doing the mod. I believe the tail section is different because of the shift-interlock cable being absent, but wouldn't be hard to overcome. It's mainly the wiring in the chassis that won't cooperate with the shifter.
