No, the bolt pattern is not the same. The 2003 Ford Escape uses a 5 lug x 108.75mm bolt pattern, while the 2001 S10 Blazer with a 4.3L uses a 5 lug x 115mm bolt pattern.
Tighten them in a criss-cross pattern. First all finger tight, then each one a little at a time, in a criss-cross pattern, first one, then the one opposite, and keep moving around the flywheel like that. By the second round of tightening, you should be at the proper torque value.
the cam shafts should be the same and as to the fly wheel and damper I take it that you mean the flexi-plate and torque converter. There may be a difference as to torque converter bolt pattern on the flexi-plate but if the gear box is the same I would think that it will bolt up ok. Talk to speed shops to get exactly what you want.
It can only be installed one way, due to way the bolt pattern is spaced.
The ground, or flat side of a FLYWHEEL will face the trans. On a flex plate (automatic) there is sometimes a stamp on it, but the bolt holes cannot line up up you try to put it on backwards.
Lift clutch pedal to uppermost position to disengage clutch and brake pedal pivot shaft.
Push clutch and brake pedal pivot shaft forward and unhook clutch release lever cable from clutch and brake pedal pivot shaft and allow it to slowly swing rearward.

Remove clutch release shaft from flywheel housing by pulling it through window in flywheel housing until retainer spring disengages from pivot.
Remove clutch release hub and bearing from clutch release shaft.
Loosen six clutch pressure plate bolts evenly to release spring tension gradually and avoid distorting clutch pressure plate. If same clutch pressure plate is to be installed, mark plate and flywheel so pressure plate can be installed in its original position.
Remove clutch pressure plate and clutch disc from flywheel.
INSTALLATION:

Three flywheel housing to block dowels on flywheel must be properly aligned with clutch pressure plate.
Bent, damaged or missing flywheel housing to block dowels must be replaced.
tart clutch pressure plate bolts but do not tighten.
Avoid touching clutch disc face, dropping parts or contaminating parts with oil or grease.
Align clutch disc using suitable alignment tool inserted in pilot bearing.
To avoid clutch pressure plate distortion, alternately tighten bolts a few turns at a time, until they are all tight, then tighten to specifications.
Install transmission to flywheel housing.
Install engine rear plate to flywheel front lower housing bolts, then connect clutch release cable to flywheel housing and connect retaining clip.
Connect clutch release lever cable to clutch release shaft, then install clutch release lever dust shield.
Install starter motor.
Lower vehicle, then install clutch release lever cable as follows:
Lift clutch pedal to disengage clutch and brake pedal pivot shaft.
Push clutch and brake pedal pivot shaft forward and hook end of clutch release lever cable over rear of clutch and brake pedal pivot shaft.
Cycle clutch pedal several times to adjust clutch release lever cable
are you sure you have an amc 360 and not a 304 and also are you sure the flywheel came from an amc 360 and not a chevy 350? A 350 will bolt directly in place of the 360. You might also try a 350 flywheel.
