Hey cool, almost like you knew what you were doing!
I thought I heard lifters ticking, or was that your teeth chattering from the excitement?

Actually the ticking was the spark plug wire holder not being clipped all the way down behind the p/s pump so it was hitting the pulley :P There are a few things not working right now and I'm not quite sure why...

Not working:
Blower motor
Power lock switches
Turn signals
Brake lights
Reverse lights

Everything else seems to work fine though
Whats weird about the brake lights and signals is that the parking lamps work fine and so does the hazards, but maybe there is a difference between the 97 body and 93 tail light harnesses? I should also note that the vats appears to be bypassed, and the power windows do work... There is also a mystery connector that isnt plugged in by the passenger kick panel, its a light green, could that be where the wireless security should plug in? cause having key fobs would be great

97 has a bcm and a 93 does not. that may have something to do with it.

I'm pretty sure my 93 had a bcm, it had two connectors on it and was located under the passenger side dash. maybe I'll attack it with my volt meter and see if I can't figure it out. Whats strange is that the third brake light works when I hit the brake, so it must be something within the wiring from the switch to the back of the car.

Yeah the drl module is a little box. The old bcm in the 93 was in the same spot as the new one, so i think it had one. I plugged in the drl and the passkey module.

I like the way it sounds open headers, but its really loud lol. I might get a cutout so I can have the sound when I want.

Yeah it fit with the v6. I have the ultra z hood and it fit with no issues.

93 can have a keyless entry module where the bcm is on a 97.
