A few tidbits:
01 S uses DME 7.2.
As STL said, 03 and 04 986s use DME 7.8.
DME 7.8 and 7.2 harnesses are close, but not the same.
The fuel map/tuning of a 996 will not be correct for a 986.
DME 7.8 runs a later (different) variocam. The engine will need the correct DME to function, but a DME 7.8 can be adapted to a DME 7.2 based chassis. *ABS, cluster, and cruise control may need extra attention for full function.

I have an '04 2.7L engine that I may stick in an '01 this winter to figure out the details
