    ya, where the "fan switch" is is different, you will either, A: extend the wires to the sensor, or B change thermostat housings. hmm, I cant think of anything else off the top of my head, besides throttle bodies being different...

    Use the B18B1 intake manifold, throttle body, Thermostate housing, and Wiring harness and transfer all those onto the B18A1.

    vola, you have a Pulg and play OBD1 LS motor again.

    Nope, I just did this about 3 weeks ago. Ignore all the plug locations that cannot be connected. Other than that, its plug n play.
