Yes -but, yes and yes. You will have to take a checkride but it won't cover all the private checkride stuff. You do have to meet the private requirements but you probably do already. There is a matrix in the PTS of what has to be covered during a checkride if you already hold other rating. Still you hold a MEL ATP you won't have to pass a SEL IFR ride.
