Most likely the harness was the same but what about the air bag? Was that an entirely diff system? Any input? Thanks guys.

I knew about the speedo thing but I just figured it was a stand alone deal. U know like going from the speedo to the trans. But I guess It would be in the main plug on the drivers side that plugs in at the fire wall. Just not sure since I dont have a 90-92 car to look at. Anyone have one that could take a look?
