Things you need to reuse:

96 timing cover
96 optispark
96 knock sensor
96 crank sprocket
96 opti harness/vacuum lines
96 injectors, fuel rail
96 intake manifold
96 engine harness and all electronics
96 knock sensor

I'm just going to stop typing - bolt everything that isn't the block, crank, rods, pistons, oil pan, and heads off of the 96 onto the 93 block.

96 is shorter due to you using the crank sensor.
