i think it will work but you will have a ses light all the time and will run in open loop all the time which will cause it to run rich. you can get away without changing cam by drilling out the center hole in the cam so the new style opti will fit, otherwise you will need a different cam, (you may want to do chain) cam gear, front cover with crank sensor, seals and gaskets for front cover, new style opti, crank sensor,

Right, that's why I was asking why you'd go through all that trouble of converting it to a new style opti. He would then have the equivalent of a 94, but in 96 clothing.

He can get a tune to make that engine work in a 96. But depending on where he lives and the state emissions requirements he can do a obd1 convert. Mad z28 does that and if your state doesn't have any emissions with that car you can barder your obd2 with the tuner for a the obd1.
