The motor is FI and the harness may have come with original motor, however the computer part number reads manual trans. My trans has a tv cable on it. The harness was not stripped down for the basic operation of the motor only.

I would have set up the engine mounts and wiring differently.
You're most likely OK with the ECM used. Usually for a EEC-IV conversion, a MANUAL TRANS ECM (electronic control module) is used as the AOD is not an electronic trans. The ECM is usually re-burned to eliminate certain emissions control circuits. Was the engine de-smoged?

Did they put a MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) on the car?

Did you ever post photos of the engine conversion? The engine should sit in the cradle normally.
