does the vvti and not vvti have the same lower oil pan and radiator?

my radiator is leaking and my oil pan is stripped out and im loosing about 1-2qt of oil a week right now... theres a 97+ at the junk yard (with almost a full body kit and taillights that im getting) and before i go through the trouble of pulling it off i want to know if it will fit on my non vvti. or if i could even pull it off lol. the frame is resting on the ground so im not sure how i could lift it up anyway. but i am getting that body kit and tailights. $45 a piece for the bumpers, and they only have a few scratches on them. only missing the right side skirt.

the lower oil pans are the same for sure, i put a 2jz-ge non vvti rear sump oil pan on my front sump vvti 1jz-gte, fit right on.

radiator i am not sure on, find some pics on google to see the inlets/outlets and compare. I am 95% sure that they are the same though.

I don't think you have to worry, VVTi wasn't introduced for either the SC300 or the 400 until 1998.

Pans are same through and through. Shoulda pulled the body kit when you saw it, chances are it won't be there when you get back.
