Yes, but the fuel rails are different so keep the YJ setup.

There's a chance belt routing may be different, late '95 YJ's are the same as a TJ and early '95s are like the earlier YJ's.

The Cam's are a bit different as well.  Should drop in and bolt up though.  Swap over your old fuel rail and it should be good.

If it's cheap and in good shape buy it already.  You can work around everything else.
