The best way to install the motor is to get a harness out of a OBD2A GSR. The swap will be 100% plug and play cause the GSR's engine harness splits at the shock towers just like the stock harness in your car. You'll still need a OBD1-to-OBD2a jumper harness so you can run the OBD2A ecu unless you got the OBD1 GSR ecu, which would then be plug and play without the jumper harness.

Hmm.. If I were you, I'd get a 94-95 OBD1 GSR ecu. That way there is no jumper harness involved. Converting your entire chassis to OBD2 will be difficult, to say the least, cause you'll have to switch out the entire chassis harness. That is way more work than is needed for you to pass BAR.

There are plenty of folks who make OBD1-to-OBD2 jumpers. Here's one: http://www.boomslang.us/obd1to2.htm

Really, by finding a 96-99 GSR engine harness, you won't have to swap distributors or alternators. You can still run an OBD1 ecu and it will work just fine.
