Default Changing front end

Just wondering what's involved in changing the front end on a series III futura to a series II/III XR front end? Can you just bolt the front bumper and bonnet straight on. Or do you have to change anything for the bonnet latch?

I think it all pretty much bolts up.

Does the latch just mount differently? Or is there other different parts?
