The axle housings are the same. The TC axles, 93 Cobra and the 94-98 Mustang axles are 3/4" longer per axle.

Why would you need to do anything to the axles? I had the complete TC rear end installed in my previous 89 Mustang with no modification to the axles or housing. I had no problems with clearance and the disk brakes were a plus.

Ditto. Just bolted right up. No need to cut anything.
