Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

EMC? Do you mean PCM/ECU? Will be interesting to see the replies, I didn't think you can get a PCM for a different year due to possibly different wiring?

maybe he meant ECM?

You would have to check the wiring connections between the 94 nad the 97. 1. I know the obd porting is different, wire on 94 runs under dash and 97 runs around engine bay to enter under gauge cluster.
It is doable especially if you get engine harness with it and there are another 4-6 wires that you'll need to redo. We went from 94 to 95 and had a number of issue's but they can be resolved.

the 93s sucked and were a air density set-up LT1s and the 94+ LT1s were the start of MAF set up. Then 96 started OBDII and yours is a OBDI so there is no way to use an OBDII ECM on an OBDI car

Totaled 99 SS swapped drivetrain, harness, interior, and suspension into 94 Z28.

There is a way but it requires a lot of wire tracing and detail. esentially have to start with the ecu and compare each pin out connect on the 4 plugs then trace each out to where it connects to function. IE sensor injectors trans etc. then you need to rewire or have a tuner delete function. It can be done. B and I went from 94 to 95. V6 to V8. It took some work but we did it. If your a stick trans thats simpler than auto.

What your probably thinking of was for 96 cars. There pcm's couldnt be tuned, so you had to buy a 97(which is a direct swap), and have that pcm modified.
