It's a bit more complicated than that... It will physically bolt to everything but a '95 into a '90 isn't plug and play... the crank sensor is different which is kind of a pain since the '89-94 mounts to the block under the timing belt cover where the '95-01 mounts to the front seal housing off to the side, and in '95 there's no more ignition module on the lower intake manifold so you have to swap that too.

It's been done and is doable but is involved...
