I've not measured yet but have been told the 4500 trans input is longer than the 465s.
I would like to do the same thing as you're doing!
On the 92-95 NV4500, the front bearing retainer is the same size as the NV4500, so the bell housing will fit on. The holes are drilled and tapped into the face of the NV4500, which still are on the mounting ears. The 96-up NV4500 has a bigger bearing retainer and needs the AA bell housing. The AA adapter for the transfer case ends up making the 205 sit about 1" longer than the stock SM465/205. You have to cut off a few inches of the output shaft and use a coupler from AA in the kit.
