Question 02 front end compatibility and a 96

I was in a wreck and smashed the radiator, fan and rest of the front of my car. I can purchase a 96for cheap and part it out for my car, or I was reading that I can drop my engine into the older car. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?

What parts are compatible, I need

front clip
bumper
head lamps
radiator
fan
hood and fender

can I swap anuything from the 96 and put it back to my 2002? Can I throw my 02 engine in the 96 and it be fine?

i would think it would work ether way but if the frame of the 02 is bent at all it will be a bitch to get all the parts to line up and look right depends on how much money you want to spend and how much you can do yourself hope this helps a bit
