Is all S-Series parts interchangeable or car specific only? I'm sure this has been asked before but i wouldnt know.

there is a LOT that will interchange between models and years, but not 100%. You have any particular part(s), model(s), and/or year(s) in mind? | |

Engine and Drivetrain
Everything is interchangable. You can swap engines, transmissions, etc. with any other model, regarless whether it is an SC, SL, or SW.
Exterior Panels
I believe this is restricted to each generation, although I have heard of 3rd gens swapping parts with 2nd gens. Someone should come along and correct me, and maybe even list the years between the generations because I cant remember them right now. All wheels can be swapped between the generations, but some older Saturn models came with smaller rims, so you may have some speedometer issues there.
Interior Panels
I have no idea. Probably the same thing as the exterior panels. (Aftermarket) Sound system setups can be swapped, with minimal parts needed to make it fit. Dome lights should be fine. I cant think of anything else right now.
Hope that helps.
-Cool-

I mean you can, but you can't just toss a DOHC engine in a single cammer jammer...you'll need this and that here and there for it to work, you make it sound like they never changed the engine...

Actually a dohc is pretty easy and straight forward with the exception of going from TBI SOHC to DOHC. Those require a little more work, but still pretty much a bolt in affair and a few wires to change.
BTW, check out Randy's post or just go into high performance mods section and check out the first sticky at the top, the ultimate swap guide. | |
