2001 vQ swap with 2004 vq swap

I have the opportunity to buy a 2001 with vq35 however the motor is bad with bad compression in two cylinders. The salvage yard has a 2004 SE auto with real low mileage because of a wreck. I want this engine for the ‘01 body if possible. 
I think the throttle is electronic on ‘03 and ‘04 whereas ‘01 and ‘02 have regular throttle cables if I’m not mistaken. (I plan on using the ‘01 intake with cables to prevent issues). That’s the only difference as far as I’m aware of. Salvage yard computer system says the ‘04 engine is NOT compatible with a ‘01 body. (I won’t get any warranty if I try it). 
Could I put the ‘04 SE auto 4x4 engine into a ‘01 SE auto 4x4 if I use the ‘01 intake and plenum on top of the engine?

Thanks! Somehow that thread didn’t show up in my search, I’ll give it a read. I certainly plan on replacing iacv gasket and and power valve screws first thing if i buy it
