I dont think anything is different on the plenum itself except you wont be able to mount the map sensor as there arent any provisions for it. Unless you tap it yourself and make sure its air tight.

My question is, why would you want to put an 88 plenum on a 90 intake? FYI, the IAC and EGR ports between the 88 & 90 are different based on the runners and throttle body you use. You will have to use the throttle body gasket for the 88 plenum.

No problem, the bolt pattern is the same. A ported plenum will not give you any improvement without aftermarket runners and ported intake. In other words, the holes in the plenum are bigger but everything else remains the same thus no significant increase in air flow.
