exactly, I have no idea why people think they have to convert over. It works perfectly. I've been running mine (OBD2b engine/distributor/injectors/etc on OBD1) for over two years now with no problems at all.

Now if you don't have the engine's harness that is different. The injector clips, distributor and alternator plugs are different for OBD2a/b to OBD1.
But since the LS injectors are almost exactly the same rate as DX/VX/SI D-series injectors, switch them. Since the alternator is the same output as your CX, switch it. And you can re-pin the LS distributor conector really easily.
