well thats the problem with trying to run a obd1 motor with a obd2 ecu, although thearetically it still should run, you should just get a list of CELs a mile long. If your state does not have state inspections i would recommend buying a obd2-1 conversion harness so you can use the 94 ecu, they are about $75. however if your state does have state inspection you will fail it if you do this
