I have heard from a source that the 92 A9L computer was the best computer to hit the market as far as tuning goes. After 92 the emissions programming started to impede aftermarket modifications. I do know, from experience, that the change of cam lift on the 94-95 will severely hurt idle. So, my questions are, is this true? If so do the wire harnesses match letting me make the swap literally a plug-and-play?

I don't think they do match you would have to buy the pih kit from pro-flow.com. That kit converts the two conputers. This kit is very $$$ and to go from a stock computer to another stock computer for the price its not worth it IMO. Trust me if it was just a plug and play everyone and there grandmother would have do it.

yeah, my idle pretty much sucks cause of my e303. thats why my twEECer is gonna make me a happy man once i figure it out. do a search on here and thecorral about the a9l computer in our cars. i know for awhile people were getting sick of answering questions about it cause so many people were asking. just do a quick search and i think you will find that a tuner is gonna be a better idea rather than just throwing another computer in there. its an option nonetheless tho

I have heard there is a way to move around certain pins in the 94/95 wiring harness so that you can just plug in the A9L's without any issues..

It is NOT the best computer as far as tuning goes. Ask any real tuner, and they will tell you the 94/95 computer give you way more tables to work with.

But, the a9l is a better computer as far as cam swaps go, they dont freak out like the 94/95 comps do.

Your best bet is to get a custom dyno tune/chip made, or order a tuning device like the tweecer or PMS.
