Yes. The differential pumpkin, as an assembly, is a direct swap. Get under your car and check where the axles meet the differential, each side is held on with four bolts and four nuts and lock washers, IIRC.
The swap itself is not that difficult, but time consuming the first time you do it.
After doing mine 3 times in two weeks, I am now able to do it in about 45 mins, with a buddy, of course.
Good luck, and there's a few threads on diff replacement. I think I actually wrote a write up for one a while back that never got archived. Just check other threads written by me for it.
