Putting the LSD axle in a 105 is straightforward. BUt you have to deal with the drive shaft too. The LSD U-joint flange is different than the 105's, as is the spline, so you can't just swap the older flange onto the LSD. However, the Drive shaft is interchangeable (except the sedan has a longer drive shaft) from the LSD cars to the 105. Also, the LSD version is a bit larger diameter and stronger (it came with the 2L engines).

The LSD u-joint flange also uses special 9 mm shoulder bolts. Without these you will eventually fail standard bolts and drop a drive shaft (I did this!).
