It MAY work, but some of the device connectors changed configuration in about 1984-85. For example, the old CTS and IAT sensor connectors were the round "squueze tab" type, while the later versions are WeatherPacks. I believe they changed again around 1989 or so. If you wanted to splice in later connectors, most of the appropriate wires would probably be in hte old harness. You migh be missing fan wiring and a few others, however.
