I think the only difference for those years is the clutch fork pivot ball. Otherwise you're good to go. If you have a 2003, I highly recommend installing a beefier chromoly pivot ball, I recall that the 2003 pivot ***** were prone to failure due to their longer length and possibly under-engineered steel. In later years (2004+) the length was reduced to resolve the issue.
You can find chromoly replacements from all the major performance parts websites.
Good Luck and Have fun!

Another thing that changed in in 2004-5 ish, was the clutch fork. The older long pivot ***** mated with a weaker stamped steel fork. This was later upgraded to a stronger cast part which mates with the shorter pivot ball.
Found out the hard way, when I was doing my clutch...had the car on the stands for two weeks waiting for parts. As I decided to upgrade the fork after finding out.
That said, if all your replacing is the clutch you are good, make sure to replace the throw-out as well though. And if you have the long pivot ball, I would upgrade to a chromoly one just in case or go for the short pivot ball/upgraded fork combo....might as well if you have the trans off.
