Are all Ignition coils the same? (location)

Passed by the junk yard yesterday and saw a '98 max with 50,000 miles.
The three ignition coils in the back (next to the firewall) were already taken, but the 3 front ones weren't.

Are the front and back coils all the same? (meaning can you use the back coil and put it in the front?).

Also, anyone know how I can pop open the trunk? This junk car doesn't have the trunk release and I can't get thru the back seat.

Thanks

^no, the front and rear coils are different

as for the trunk, you can take the back seats out (very simple) and manually pop the trunk

Would a crowbar work?

What do you need bad enough to destroy a trunk lid that someone else may need. Kinda sh!tty if you ask me, unless its already trashed.

If its got electric release, bring a cordless drill battery and a wiring diagram to pop the trunk. should be able to do it from inside the car or under the hood.
