You already know the answer.
A serial reader is needed to read the serial data.
An ABS reader is needed to read the ABS data.
The two readers are often separate devices.

I've got a 95 with the same issue.
The connector is ODB-2
and the computer is ODB-I

You need a cable which costs about 95 dollars (new).. I just sold mine.
Check the "electronics" section of www.camarz28.com

Look at: http://www.obdii.com/
I've got a 95 S10 pu with the labeling showing obd1 but it has the 16 pin
connector and I can't read the codes by jumpering pins. Info from the above
site doesn't show any 1994 GM vehicles as being obd2 compliant.

You can't jumper anything past 1993. You need an OBD-1 scantool with either
a 16-pin or 12-pin cable, depending upon your application.

either 

i don't have an actual obd 1 code reader(which is what the connector is in
the car-obd 1) for these i have always jumped the two top left hand side
pins to get the "check engine" light flashing the codes,but the pins are in
different locations and no combo is working.i do have a obd 2 code reader
but the connector is different,all the obd 1 readers i've seen are a one
piece just attach it on type,not one's like my obd 2 with a cable hook up.i
'm a little lost on just what exactly i need or jump to get the codes.(short
of just taking it in,i'm sure there is some way or reader on the market to
handle the transitional years) thanks

Then you are out of luck.

Get an obd 1.5 reader and hook it's serial data wire to aldl pin 09.
Hook the ground wire to pin 05, or a suitable ground.
If your reader uses car's +12v, then run that wire to the fuse block.
