Default swapping an LS, harness question...

i have a quick question...

im swapping in a LS into my 1991 civic DX (as you all should know) but anyway, my question is, i have a 91 SI harness lined up, but i was wondering, is it possible to use the LS harness? what all would you have to do in order to make it work?

what would be easier to use, the SI or the LS?

thanks for the help in advance, i sort of need to know ASAP!!!

^ Agreed, except ive never had to lengthen any wires. It probably would help on the eacv though.

if there has been a few engines in your car, the harness might be a fuckign hackjob like mine is... check that out first to make sure everythings kosher with it. easier to replace with a good one while the engines out.

o yeah the distro wont plug into Si harness.
