That's basically it. The best thing will be to transfer all of the devices from the '91 over to the new engine. For all practical purposes the engines are identical. There may be a temperature switch on the earlier engine that won't have a connector in the '91. My '88 had one of those switches, located near the intake runner for #1 cylinder.
I don't know if there was an EGR in '91, so there may be some additional work to accommodate that (and avoid a CE light).
As far as the shifter goes, I took a quick look in the EPC last night. The shift rod that goes from the shift lever to the rubber coupler has the same part number for both years. There is a cutoff transmission serial number for the earlier one (listed as '86 to'89), but I think that probably covers the transition from external centering to internal centering.
