The plug on the drivers side shock tower has a square connector (six pin) on an 88 harness and a round connector (eight pin) on an 89-91 version.

is there any way to modify the cluster plugs on an 88-89 harness to work with a 91 cluster?

well you need to get the 90-91 plugs...and re-pin everything..

and extra wire your going to need to relocate the hazard and the defrost buttons...

if your new at wiring I would not attempt this...
