Rear vented caliper swap

I have a 1990 GX so the rear calipers were non-vented ones. I had one go bad so I bought a set of vented calipers.
Are the pads/rotors thick on the vented calipers?

T'ain't the calipers that are vented, it's the rotors and yes, the vented rotors are thicker.
Pads are the same for either setup.
