Nice one for the responsible post, many would have just taken the money and let the buyer screw it up.
To answer your question, if the buyer's car is anything other than an MY97/98 the ECU won't even plug in. On a 97/98 it will physically connect (i.e. the plugs are the right shape), but the car won't start without making changes to the wiring loom. If these changes were made he would then find that his car would run like sh*t because the ECU doesn't match the engine.
So, no, the short answer is that it won't fit.
