Help with engine swap.

Look at the ECU, one will say A/T and the other M/T. I changed them out when I swapped, but I never noticed any difference. The auto may have needed the ECU to get the shift points. I had the TEMS in the donor car but not in the other and there were no extra plugs for them either that I saw. Those shocks are way too expensive to replace anyway so I just used the KYB's.Not sure when they changed engine mounts, but I think it was 89, but check just in case. Everything bolted right up from my 86.5 to my 87 engine.
