no. the rear subframes, the driveshafts, the transfer cases, among other things are different however you would have the majority of the necessary parts to do it.

@ BCspeed34 Nice project; been busy swapping in a 4G69 from a busted up Ralliart to my 02 coupe myself. I saw you figured out the ralliart trailing arm fits the Mirage as well. Looking to pick up a set of MR wheels. Not looking to go widebody if I don't have to. So I'm curious, how much clearance you got on the fenders? Do they rub even if the fenders are rolled? Thanks.

@XRS you need to flare the rear or run some camber to run the MR wheels, it is completely flush back there.
And thanks for the comments everyone, as mentioned I'm a college student, plus I've been very busy with work lately. However there will be a nice update coming tomorrow!

Hah I don't like to ask for help, and I got lazy during the holidays. I removed the lip just yesterday and will have him repair it later this month.
In the meantime, I've been really busy with the swap. As you can see things got a little crazy on the inside:
Right now I am trying to source a rear subframe so I can start the AWD swap. I had planned on going FWD so I can be out and driving sooner, but I realized I should do it right the first time, even if it takes longer. I have the rear hubs, brakes, and e-brake lines. All I need now are the arms, differential, subframe, driveshaft, and diff mounts. Fuel tank will have to go but that's the least of my worries right now.
And stepping aside from swap discussion, I just put these rear foglights on. Very rare, I don't know of anyone else with a set (besides our Euro members).
