AWD DSM intermediate shafts don't have that ring on them that fits up against the axle seal. You can still use an AWD DSM shaft on a FWD CSM swap though, you just have to mod an axle seal to work with it. I just take RTV and glue an AWD seal over the FWD seal. Let it sit over night and gently tap it in and it works perfect. If you try to use a FWD seal with the AWD intermediate shaft it will leak.

He talks about cutting the intermediate shaft in order for it to fit. I didn't have to do that. I have a 3gen 91 Summit with an 6bolt 4g63t and a fwd transmission. I used a 91 DSM AWD 5 spd intermediate shaft, and the 2gen 88 Turbo Colt equal length passenger/drives side axles. I did not use two seal and my tranny seeps gear oil. Your 2 gen 4g63t swap should be similar if not identical to what I did with my axles.
This is how an 1ga DSM AWD intermediate shaft bolts on to the 6 bolt 4g63 block. Take note of the nut used here as a spacer in place of the A/C compressor bracket, and the use of a washer on the other bolt.
There are also posible issues with the type of DSM AWD Intermediate Shafts to use.
