Tpi conversion in a 85 iroc

Okay guys I did a bit of searching and just think this may work better, I have a complete 88 tpi engine trans and underhood wiring harness from a 88 Iroc I have a buddy wanting to convert his 85 feedback carb car to the tpi can I use the iroc engine harness as a plug and play type deal or will the interior harness differ from this one? I just want to make the swap and simple as possible. Will it plug into the bulk head and have the proper conections?
Thanks
Elec

You'll need at least the TPI harness from the kick panel to the ECM. And the ECM.

From ECM to the rest of the car, there may be some differences but I couldn't say for sure. Again, best to get all that from the donor car.

Awesome, I have the harness from the ecm kick to the front of the car right now I just was wondering if the rest may be the same since the car had the option for the tpi.
Thanks

It should mount in the kick panel hole, but they are pinned differently.

What exactly is pinned differently? the interior or exterior harness?
