Default Headers question 98 Dakota

Tried searching, but can't really find an answer. Swapping a 5.9 from my 96 Ram 1500 into a 98 Dakota 5.2. The 5.9 has shorty headers in the Ram already. Would those fit in the Dakota? When searching for headers for the Dakota, almost all the results say Ram/Dakota/Durango. Seems to be 2 different styles of passenger side headers just from pictures too.

Thanks!

Only style difference I am aware of, is EGR, or non-egr.... 95 and older will have it, 96 and newer won't.

Fantastic. Trying to do the swap as budget friendly as possible and didn't want to have to get new headers or have to use the manifolds for the time being. Thanks!
