tbi to tpi swap problem - injectors

Hi

I have a problem with engine swap. One my car has 305 TBI (formula, 1989 year) another one has 350 TPI (trans am, 1989 too). I swap motor and whole eng. harness to formula. I left in place interior and light harnesses.
Everything is ok except injectors - exactly they won't fire. I think it may be a VATS problem because SECURITY lamp stay on when I turn the ign. switch, but sometimes lamp is going off and the inj. still won't fire...can anyone help?

thanks in advance
