stock wiring and mounts if you want but ls mounts are better fit.

you can do it a couple of different ways, The way i would do it would be to use a '94-95 LS harness, and trade your OBD2 distributor for a '94-95 LS one. Use a '94 -95 LS ECU. Use all the LS mounts. HTH

Don't swap out anything. Use the harness that came with the engine and 94-95 LS ECU, of course use all TEG mounts if possible. Everything will plug right in.

This is exactly what I did. Ive got a 98 motor running off a 94 ecu. Everything works great.
Very easy swap.

Stock LS header down to the "B-Pipe" for me.

I've got a DC 4-2-1 header (for the LS), a straight pipe, and a custom cat-back system.
I think you only need the 2nd O2 sensor in the cat if you are coverting to obd2.

You can use the stock harness. But you will need to change your injector plugs and distributer plug. But 1996+ injectors and distributers ARE compatible with 1992-1995 ECUs.
