From info Ive gathered the dimensions are the same but there are a few differences. The windshield defroster vents need a little modifying to work with the Cj windshield frame.
There are 2 body mounts that need to be moved as well. The fuel filler is on the wrong side so you have to patch it up and cut it out on the correct side.
If you want to retain your fold down Cj tailgate you have to modify the tub in the rear to accept the hinges. The Yjs tailgate opens to the side.
Heres a good write up on the Yj tub swap. Pretty popular swap:
