The '97 Saturn series (SL, SC, SW) used 2 basic engines.
The SL2, SC2 and SW2 used the dual cam engines, which were identical.
The SL, SC and SW used the single cam engines, which were identical.
The computers were a little different, as well as a couple other issues, but if you stayed with a single cam for single cam vehicles or a dual cam for dual cam vehicles, they were compatible.
The above is correct, but keep in mind, the second half of 2000, all of 2001 and 2002 as well came with factory electronic smog pump systems. The engine design is identical for installation, but the newer engine systems run different cylinder heads allowing for a secondary air system to flow into the exhaust mainifold. The EGR valve systems, although they look the same, have a different programing for exhaust flow. I have not yet been able to modify a 2001 saturn with smog to accept a 1997 non-smog engine without swaping cylinder heads.
