You have the 700R4 transmission in the '91. The ECM doesn't care if the wiring to the transmission is hooked up.

If you want the shift point light, you do. Also the manual trans .bin has a slower decel rate so it's easier to shift gears. Other than that - not much difference. If you keep the same ECU and stock .bin, you'll constantly get the TCC SES light too.
