Maybe.............
You have to look at teh 2 units side-by-side and be sure that the planum chamber (where the heating of the intake air takes place) fits in exactly the same place to assure that it will line up properly with the existing ducts.
Also, look into the installation manual and be sure that the duct area meets the minimum required for the new furnace. (Pi-R squared, ya know),

or you have a potential overheating situation with insufficient output area to the ducts.
