Are you talking about re-programming the eproms?
If so, the answer is MAYBE. Older OBD I systems are pretty simple and if you can find a "hack" on the programming, you can probably re-program it. You may need different "Bin Editors", but a surprising number are now available for a variety of cars...though they don't necessarily work with all cars. Or, even other model of cars (or ECMS) from cars from the same manufacturer.
A good example is older 2.8 V6 MAF F-body cars. No one has "hacked" the ECM (that is willing to share), so there is very limited information on it. Conversely, there is a ton of info for the $8D SD TPI system and $6E 1989 MAF TPI system.
For GM cars, check out www.tunercat.com for the various "definition files" they have for GM cars. A "Definition File" is an "interface mask" that tells the TunerCat Program where the "various tables and constants" are located and how to convert them from say "Temperature" to "binary".
