Default Front Axle Swap to YJ

I've got an '89 XJ LTD w/ a big brake kit on the front and I am considering swapping it over to a '94 YJ LTD.
Is it a direct swap? I know the bolt pattern is the same etc, but what about overall width, & anything else that might be a problem?
Also considering swapping my AX15 to the YJ.
I know VERY few YJs came manual, but did they run AX15s?
Thanks for you help,
Fred

Yes, XJ to ZJ, sorry for the slip up on the YJ. . .
