Nope, not that I am aware of. I am currently in the process of swapping a 2.3 into my 1990, but this swap is a bit easier since the 1990 was the "transition year" and also came with the DI. From my research, your swap would be easiest by using your stock intake manifold (ported for 2.3L head), 2.3L downpipe, and by retrofitting your distributor. You might also have to change the transmission, but I am not sure--I know that the 1990s were compatible with both engines. The motor mounts may also cause problems, again I am not sure as the 1990s were designed for both.
Now, getting it to fit is one obstacle, getting it to run well is another. I believe it will run fine on the stock ECU, which is probably what I am going to do. It seems to be a nice project, but it is definitely not as easy or straightforward as a Honda swap. Be prepared for a lot of guesswork and time invested.
