Default Pulling from a 97 S10 for a 98 Blazer?

I've got a 98 Blazer, I'm looking to pull leaf springs and front suspension bushings and bearings out of a 97 S10 Extended Cab pickup. I'm FAIRLY certain it'll all match up the same, but I wanted to check for sure, because my Blazer is a Vortec and the S10 is a 2.2, and while I have all power steering and windows and column shift in the Blazer, this truck has none of that. I'm not sure what all is different, considering just what I'm seeing from first glance. Of course, I also REALLY like the rims on the S10. Black instead of silver!

Advice?

The spring rates will likely be different, but things will probably fit up right.

Rims, if yours is 4wd and the donor is 2wd, the rims will stick out quite a bit. If the other way around (was the 2.2L offered with 4wd in the s10?), you will likely have problems due to the large amount of back spacing on the 4wd rims.

Both are 2wd, thankfully.
