i got a 88 camaro mpfi 2.8. i'm ovioulsy swapping this for a 3.4 out of
a 94 camaro. from what i hear and have read much about is that this is
a basic bolt on. i'm just woundering since i'm buying the whole engine
already running and swaping it if i can actually use the newer 3.4
harness on the rest of the car cause from what i've heard it's not that
more technical from the 2.8. and if so if i culd actually adapt in a
newer a/c cause the old one would be too costly seeing that the don't
make the same freon anymore and it's like 30 bucks a pound. Also if i
can't do the harness switchover if i could adapt the coil pack in there
instead of that pain in the a.s distributer in the back of the engine.

try thirdgen.org

The engine bay harness might actaully plug right intot he firewall, but
I am sure some tweaks have to be made. Just can't remember what
exactly right now...

Yes, you can convert to r-134, but contrary to popular belief, it won't
harm the system to mix r12 and r134 to a point. Anyway, you can
convert.

I suppose you could convert to a coil pack--I hate distributors as
well--but the MPFI harnes swap-in isn't that bad.

Good luck.
