Driveshaft question

Hey I need some help on a driveshaft swap. I found someone with a 94 that they are parting out it has the 3.4L and was wondering if it was an aluminum one and if I could use it behind my t5 and 305?

I doubt that a 3.4 would have an alum shaft (shoot, it may have been equipped with a two-piece shaft). There are several alum shafts, both third- and fourthgen, in the classifieds. Direct fit.
