You will need to reuse the stock 91 engine harness. If the car is DPFI then you will need to use the stock 91 DPFI intake manifold on the Y7 motor or convert to MPFI. I'm not up on all the CA smog rules, but I was under the assumption that if you were to use a newer motor that the electronics also had to match. Meaning that you would need to convert the car to OBD2A. If that's the case, then I would reconsider your options because it's a lot more trouble than it's worth...
