Default FACTORY roof rack?

Ok, so I really like the 97-98 (I think) full length factory roof rack. I prefer it over my 99 partial-length rack. Not only do I prefer the looks, but it seems to be perfect for carrying lumber, ladders, and kayaks. What is involved with swapping an older full length one onto my 99? I assume just a couple more mounting holes? Has anyone done this? Thanks all.
