The Iroc probably has TPI, right? So a straight swap shouldn't be a problem, just swap out everything from the 87 and remove the pieces from the 91, which includes the ECM (and maybe fuel pump).

Where does the TBI part come in? Are you contemplating TBI instead? If I recall correctly, TBI has 19lb/hr injectors and TPI has 24lb/hr injectors in a stock config. If you want better gas milage (for a daily driver or cruiser) then the TBI setup may be better for you. If you want quick off-the-line response for racing or street work, then the TPI (MAF, not SD) may be better for you.
