The crank damper will fit and run the engine but your belts are NOT THE SAME.
So the simple answer is NO!!!!!!!
Send your old faulty damper to a repair shop.

Hello there! i saved up and now ready to remove The crank damper for rebuild. But before i start removing the fan and s**** for no reason.. I have a few more questions. 1: Whats the size socket to remove the pulley bolt? 2: Will this 46pc pulley puller tool i saw on ebay Work to remove the pulley? 46pc Grip Harmonic Balancer Gear Puller Steering Wheel Kit Pulley Yoke Crank | eBay And 3: What tool do i need to install the pulley back on to the engine?

The 1 5/16" hex head bolt is tight but I sometimes use a chain wrench and section of old belt wrapped and taped in place so as no to damage the pulley groove.
I just removed my 1997 X300 damper (AJ6 and AJ16 have the same basic setup) with a 24" breaker bar and let the end rest on the shop floor. I bumped the starter with a hand held remote start button in the harness connector at the rear of the intake manifold.
I will use the chain wrench to tighten the pulley when it comes back from Dales Manufacturing.
The 46 pc puller set will work fine. The dampers are not 'pressed-on' but they can get corroded in place. I can sometimes wiggle them off by hand but that is rare.
I usually have to use the puller you described and use a hand ratchet at least halfway.
Tap it back on with a copper hammer or wood block enough to get the bolt started and tighten the rest of the way on.
I usually smear a little anti-seize compound on the crank end to help it slide.
The fan shroud on the early XJ40 is more difficult to remove than the later electric fan assy but you will need the room to work.
