No, you will have to add the MPFI wiring.

Under dash harness swap its a lot of work when all you need is a sub harness, youcan even but them from places like Rywire

Might as well swap all the interior if you go the swapping whole harness route

But aren't the harnesses different? 88-89 i different than 90-91 as far as cluster connections go I know that for sure. I would just wire in the mpfi and throw your engine in and call it a job well done. Or run dual point on your Si engine with an HF trans and make it a daily and throw a massive swap in the old car and make it a sleeper.
