I don't think so because if the ae86 has the 6.7 rearend, the rearend is longer so the driveline is shorter.
On my racecar when I changed from the 8 bolt rearend to the 10 bolt celica rearend I had a solid driveline made and I ended up knocking the pinion gear out when the car would squat under acceleration just from the different length of the rearend pumpkin.
I'm sure they had to shorten the driveline a little for the different rearends from te72 to ae86.
If they both have the 6.3 then I bet it is the same length for both cars since they are both. Basically the same chassis with a t50.
