They're deeper so you may have to cut a section of floorboard out to accomodate the trap. Therefore where the bath waste enters soil stack could be an issue also - might need lowering ie new strap on boss.
 
do not forget that whirlpools have jets all the way round so acess all the way round must be considerd. also to minimise pump noise insulate inside bath pannel but do not restrict air flow to the pump. pump can be mounted on rubber mat to reduce vibration
its a good idea to test test and test again before fitting paying attention to correct operation of level sensor(if fitted) and to identify any leaks.
water & electrics! FIT 30 ma RCD and use ip rated junction boxes
