Drop and Swap.

Should take you less than 4 hours for the whole thing. Take everything else
out, ECU etc, use the 85's if you have had no problems passing smog (if you
have to), and swap all the control parts one by one. Save the rest for
spares. There were no significant upgrades between these two years.
