Switching EMG 81 for Blackout - have to switch out the pots?

[Terminus]

I'm about to buy a SD Blackout for when I buy a new guitar, but in the meantime I'd like to just try it out in my old guitar and that one has a single 81 in it...do the Blackouts have the same connections and can I just pop out the 81 and put the BO in without having to change all the pots and wiring in it?

I did a direct 81 to blackout swap and it worked fine

Yeah I did a little googling and found there are no issues at least with the quick connect versions. Cool beans.
