It will bolt to the engine.
If it's from an 8-valve, you'll need to swap in the inner drivers from your '90 transmission. I'm not sure about the transmissions from 16-valve '86 cars.
If it's from a Turbo, then the primary gear ratio will be close enough for gummint work. If not, then engine speed will be higher for a given road speed than it was with the original '90 transmission. You will want to swap in the primary chain gears from your '90 transmission.
It will have the smaller pinion bearing, so its remaining life will be shorter than it would be with a post-89 transmission.
If it is from an early '86 you'll have one other problem.
Early '86 transmissions require external shifter centering - there are springs on the gearshift assembly that keep the shifter in line with the 3/4 shiftgate when it's properly aligned. Your '91 has internal centering - the springs that keep it lined up with 3/4 are in the transmission.
If it has the early '86 transmission, you'll need to keep the whole shifter assembly from your parts car.
