305 crossfire to 350 lt1 6 speed.

hey guys, im new to the forum, i have a 82 trans am that i just bought out of someone yard for $250. and yes it does run. it has a 5.0 liter crossfire injected engine, and an automatic transmision.
i used to have a 95 trans am and it got totaled. i got the 350 lt1 and 6 speed from it plus all of its wiring, dash, instrument panel and console. now can i put the 350 and six speed in this car and use the 95's wiring, dash and console?
