Default Installing a G2 differential into a G1

Today I made a 45 mile trip to pick up a G2 for the differential. I'm going to try and do a photo thread on the steps necessary to do this conversion.
This is the donor that followed me home today.
Next is the two differentials setting next to each other, G2 in front and G1 nearest. I tried to line them up by the seams in the gear case. First notice the difference in the clutch springs. The spring in the G1 appears to have fewer coils but the spring diameter is larger.
I was told that the axles and axle housing are interchangeable. If this is the case lining up the clutches should not be much of a problem. Tomorrow I'm going to pull the axles and housings and and check on their compatibility. Seeing as how none of the mounting holes line up I hope things will swap over.
