its a simple switch, are the cars both manual or automatic, if not the same you might have to buy a computer but everything else will bolts up, just convert the 88 to mass air using the verts stuff.

88= sd harness ...90= maf harness and ecm,,,,,for the 90 set up to work you'll need the harness or just use the long block from the 90 and leave is SD in the 88

all i've got for the 88 is a rolling chassis intended to go w/ a carb but now i got this whole totaled car so it seems a waste to junk the fuel inj
