Hi Folks,

Does any one know if a P90 pup will fit in the humbucker cavity of a Les Paul?

I know the screws location is different.

The soap bar P90's are about 1/2 inch longer and 1/4 inch narrower, I'm not sure about the dogear type.

The GFS site might have a pickup similar to a P90 which is about the same size as a PAF type pickup

Yes, they have a drop-in P-90 "style" replacement. The set I tried was more like a strat pickup inside than a P-90, but gets you "in the ball park". The GFS Pup's are a lot less expensive than Gibson or SD sets, too, if memory serves me correctly.
