350 TPI out of 87 Vette into 86 Iroc (Quick help)

ok heres the deal. I have a 86 Iroc original 305 TPI car the motor is blown and out of the car. I have a 350 TPI out of a 87 Vette with the computer harness all the sensors evertything the motor is all toghter. Now I know they have diffrent EGR setups what am I supsoed to go about that? Do they make a kit? Also is thier anything else I would have to change to make it work in the IROC if anyone has any idea of what I would run into. This is simple but I just have to get this in and out becase Im doing it in a friends garage. Thanks alot
Joe

The only difference in the EGR is the Vette has an external tube going from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold (just like my '90 Bonneville).

Bolt the engine in, use the Vette ECM, you shouldn't have any problems. They're both MAF, so the harnesses should be the same.

If there's nothing wrong with the '86 harness, just use it.
