2wd cab to 4wd frame

good day I need a little help please with a project I am thinking of taking on. what is the difference in height for the trans hump between 2wd and 4wd with and automatic ?
are they the same height and the difference is in the bolt on plate for the transfer case shifter? I am looking at putting a good 79 2wd s/c cab onto a 79 s/c 4x4 frame. or do I need to do any other work for the height? please advise and thank so much

Most times if there is a difference, it is just cut out and a plate bolted in. Auto cabs generally are intact and manual trans humps are bolt in.
 
i just did this exact swap, used a 2 wheel drive cab on my 4 wheel drive frame. i have a 4 speed though. donor cab was an automatic. i just cut the top of the tunnel as per needed to clear everything while still making sure that the tunnel plate can be properly secured.
