Is a Shimano 9 speed cassette (on a shimano freehub, of course) compatible with
a Campagnolo 9 speed drivetrain, or do I need to get a special spacer kit?

Thanks in advance.

It's usually satisfactory with no special spacers.

And IAK, you can't respace a shimano cassette to Campagnolo 9-speed, because
then it's too wide for the cassette body.
