VATS is probably worth disabling. I have it disabled on my 92 and it always gave me a headache on my 89.

And, also, why did you keep the wiring? I dont know if its the same on a 91, buuuut on my buds swap in the 86 we basically ripped out the entire engine management harness and kept the chassis harness. It was easy to wire up some of the other stuff and made for a much nicer engine bay. My $.02
