Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

It can be done. You'll probably run into some issues. You'll need to swap over all of the ECM related hardware including harness and sensors. Not sure if you have VATS, but shouldn't cause big problems if you do. You'll have to take engine/tranny/exhaust, plus things like cables, hoses. And the '85 radiator.

Keep the vapor canister. It's more good than "bad".

You don't really need a parts list or step-by-step. You have both cars, switch over anything that attaches to the engine and/or anything that looks different between the two. Take pictures of both before you take anything apart, and pictures as you disassemble isn't a bad idea, either.
