Both motors are the same. Only the connectors are different.

Here's a very good write up on the conversion:

Sunset no longer has them for $335, or $375 for that matter. Just like everything, prices go up with time!
Now more like $500, for the complete kit minus glass (but the glass still comes with the kits some of the time).
So buy the "kit", inspect for glass, then buy the glass ($125 set) if needed.

I am about to swap to GTS Aeros, I looked at everything I could. I went with the Motorsports/Dave Lomas, Garrity kit. I spent $817.00 for the complete powered kit. This included the wiring conversion so it should be plug and play. It also included (most importantly) was the color match paint. I sent them my color code and they match as close as can be expected to 25 year old factory paint. I can't wait to install, and it seems that all the bits are there.?.

Early motors & glass mounts don't fit in an Aero mirror (not close) - nor would they attach to Aero glass.
If you have a '78-'86 Aeros will fit mechanically fine... but electrically you need either:
1) An active harness adapter (with relays) per side
2) Swap all the car side stuff to S4+ switchgear & wiring
3) Live with manual or only partial electrical operation
If you have a S4 - Aero electrical installation is just a wire color mapping exercise...
- or the late S4 flag motors wil fit in the Aeros (the motors are the same so just swap out)
Lots of confusing noise out there - this is the truth...

What I get from that write up and from DR's post is that you can get the early flag motor to fit in the Aero housing as long as the bayonet style mirror mounts are compatible (the GTS mirror will fit on the Flag mirror mount). You can do it with only separating the pins from the connectors and feeding them through the new housing and installing early the early motor. It is a tight fit with the larger connectors, but doable.

Thanks for the clarification. Back to plan A.
