Doesn't sound like a good enough reason to me.

It was in 95 when they started changing over. All 94s had rectangle odb1 connectors.

an LT1 OBD2 PCM will plug right into the OBD1 plugs. You will need to change to a newer knock sensor though. Also you'll need to order an OBD2 socket and repin the ALDL port for the OBD2 connector.
