i was always under the impression they were the same

[98Camaro3.8]

Manifold sensors:

97+ are the same. Delco AFS109
95-96 are different (think the connector changed here). Delco AFS75.


Other sensors (1 or 2 depending on year):

95 has a different connector. Delco AFS90.
96-97 are a Delco AFS97.
98+ is a Delco AFS116.

O2 sim for 98+ will fit 96-97 post cat connector, but not 95.
