you wont be able to bar the motor regardless of the obd because its an older motor in a newer car. you probably will need to convert to obd1, because your obd2 ecu would be looking for sensors that the ls motor doesnt have.

its really not that hard, just get an obd2>obd1 conversion harness and and an obd1 ecu.

as for the mounts you will need to use the ones from a 00 si
