I really think that I want to try this. Does anyone have any ideas?

Why, pray tell? For the passenger airbag?
BTW, the 1.8 debuted as a '94, not a '93. Hate to see you buy '93 parts
and be disappointed.

Huh? Other than the passenger side airbag, I don't get it, the dashes
are identical. I would think there are some additional sensors needed
for the passenger side airbag if that was your goal and I don't think it
would be a safe installation regardless.

No, actually they are not identical, though they certainly are similar, the
center console is slighlty different and the top of the dash has a slightly
different shape (from my '97 and my buddies '90). the fit of an aftermarket
DIN headunit is different.

Lanny, Your correct '94.
Reasons for the change would be...
a cracked dashboard on my 91,
I like the style of the new dash,
I can re-wire any necessary connections (no problem),
and I really don't believe
that I would connect the passenger airbag (but could).
I am gathering that no one has tried this before.
So, wish me luck. 
I will document everything.
