Compatability issues are common when swapping pre-90 parts into 90+ or visa versa, components between model years. In other words, it's not a plug and play swap. You find this out once you've tried it and it does not run or the wiring harness doesnt match the computer and or is pinned incorrectly...

You're probably running into a vats issue. That would be my guess. Bypass it or program delete it out of the chip. I had to do that with my 91 speed density swap into my 87 because the injectors would not fire otherwise.

Good luck
