I've researched doing this swap for my '86 as well. You'll need the '91-'92 bumper support, turn signals, fog lights, and harness plugs. The trim around the headlights must either be changed or modified to clear the new bumper. Core supports and fender mounts all remain the same as far as I've been able to tell.

Since you have a GFX-less car, you'll want the Formula or regular Firebird front end, or get the TA front along with the side skirts and rear bumper cover to match.
