I think it's fair to say they don't differ much. The most obvious thing that springs to mind is that some '85s used the new-type closed-throttle/WOT single switch instead of the previous double switch. Electrically they're identical, so if an earlier throttle body isn't ready to hand you can adapt the harness connectors to work with the new one.

I don't think '84s had power steering, so that shouldn't be an issue.

If other folks don't have more specific answers, I'd copy 97.54 through 97.66 and superimpose them in front of a strong light, looking for differences. I'd begin by comparing 97.54 and its counterpart, looking for differences in the current track numbers; noting differences for special attention. Likewise the connectors and ground points.

Then superimpose the actual circuits, and investigate any place they don't overlap exactly. Both diagrams have 105 current tracks, a hopeful sign.
