since you have a 350 auto and 88+89 are 165 type it will work. just make sure it your buying a 165 ecm. the only thing is, i would disconnect the cold start injector. why? the 89 code has been "refined" to no longer need the assitance of the CSI. upon a cold start, it fires all 8 injectors. additional fuel is added upon a cold start. it "primes" the engine, so it will start w/o the CSI.
hopefully the ecm/memcal are functional.
best of luck
