About the only issues you will have is with electrical connectors. Keep the wiring harness from your 91 and put it on the 94. The alternator connector will be different also, as maybe the belts, so you may have to find a different alternator that will mount, use the serp belt pulley, and still connect if the 91 has the good old external regulator. You didn't say anything about your transmissions, so no comment there.

is it auto or manual?

I think the manual is the same.

The auto will probably have different shift linkage, but as long as you have the other trans you can easily swap it. also you will probably have to swap the mlps on the trans. That is the black sensor right by the shift lever.
