If you pick up a complete engine (with Opti) the only thing you need is the harness that goes from the opti to the ECM harness (this is the weather pack connection on the passenger side of the intake). The ECM will be able to run the opti with no problem, you "May" need to reuse your 94 Coil and Ign. module ( I think 96-97s have different wiring), but everything else should just plug in.

It's only messy when you swap a 94+ motor into a 92-93 or visa~versa when you run into allot of issues because there are allot more differences that have to be dealt with. You swapping a 95+ into a 94 doesn't have all the issues.
