2.4 from cavalier into 97, will it work?? help

thought id try here too. sorry not a cutlass
I pulled a 2.4 out of my 96 cavalier which i wrecked. it is a good engine with no problems. My question is can i switch it into a 97 achieva 2.4 4spd auto?? i will strip it to the block and head and keep everything else. Everything is identical i think, and im sure the block and head are an exact fit. Does this not seem right.? any info would be appreciated
thanks
bob
