To a first approximation, you can substitute one for the other, but if building a gearbox, you'll probably want to consider whether interchangeability or optimizing the operating state is more important. For most FRC applications, I'd lean towards running all the motors at the same points on the power curves (but because they're different motors, the magnitudes will be different). That means slightly different gear ratios, with less interchangeability between CIMs and Mini CIMS.
