vlsd swap question, please confirm

Ok so i have a base model s14, open diff / 4 lug from the factory...... i'm in the process of swapping in a s13 vlsd from a canadian model 240. Now i know that i need an ABS driveshaft to deal with the longer "snout" on the vlsd, but my question is can i use an s13 ABS driveshaft or does it need to be an s14 driveshaft? I found one local to me but i just want to confirm before i buy it that it will actually work, thanks! FWIW i have an sr, but i've read the ka/sr driveshafts are identical anyways.

**EDIT**

ok i did find this with searching a bit today.......

"I have not personally measured the S13 vs S14 front piece but have seen both pieces and I know you cannot use a S13 (front piece) driveshaft (becasue of the bulky rubber insulator) into a S14 tranny without changing the sleeve yoke dust cover (to accomodate the bulky rubber insulator) or atleast trim it down. But the drives shaft are literally the same except for the second part of the drive shaft (longer section) which is different lenghts for ABS vs non-ABS."

*****2nd EDIT*****
but i'm im running an s13 redtop motor/tranny, that means i COULD use the s13 driveshaft, if indeed the only hangup was the front piece which goes into the trans???

so by that, it seems it IS possible, with a bit of modification? has anyone actually done this before?
