Re: cruise control

Generally speaking, it shouldn't matter. The sensor that drives the cruise control is also used by the EFI, and all the cruise wiring is in the dash harness or the CC harness. So at least in theory, you won't be changing anything related to the CC system.

Re: cruise control

I would if you could grab the cruise control box, and the vacuum ball, wiring harness. The cruise on these cars is a separate wiring harness. There is a module in the passenger dash I would also grab. However I'm like 90% sure your 2.8 cruise will carry over... but if you have access to the donor car why not grab the parts to be safe.
