I can't remember if it's a direct connect, or if it requires modification, but you can make it work. Lightning MAF's are common upgrades for those who don't have a lot of cash but need lots of flow.
The 96-up cars (including the lightning) use MAF's that are calibrated (for lack of a better term) differently than our MAF's. Which means you either need to have a chip burned or a tweecer to make it work. So technically yes it will work but not with a stock computer setup. Unless you have a tweecer or are going to buy one for reasons other than using that MAF then its not really worth the trouble.
