I'm no mechanic, but I haven't found anything on the net saying you can't .... This is basically the only difference that I've found ...

"From Wikipedia
Early production 2.0 L engines used a hydraulic tensioner to tension the timing belt. 2000 and 2001 engines received a mechanical spring-loaded tensioner that tended to wear out prematurely, causing serious valve and piston damage upon belt failure due to the interference design of the engine. 2002+ engines utilized a different mechanical tensioner."
