ATX/MTX swap...I've search but still have questions

I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the Auto Trans Forum. (MODS: Please move if needed)

------------------------------------------

Before anyone says "search!" I already did but here's what questions are still unanswered.

First of all, I just bought another MX-3 from a really nice girl in Oklahoma. It's a white '94 GS Auto with around 150k on the body/engine and the tranny was rebuilt about 4 years ago. I also have a '92 GS MTX w/ a KLDE that has fallen victim to rust and will soon be undrivable.
Sooo, here's my first question:
Can I use my '92 GS as a donor car and swap everything into the '94 GS? Basically, are there any parts that are not compatible from a '92 to a '94?

Next....My boyfriend seems to think that the entire dash will need to be removed in order to swap all the pedals. Is this true?

I'm sure I can think of a few more questions but that should be all for now.
If anyone has any other helpful tips or anything of that nature please feel free to post em up.

Thanks in advance!
Kenzie

Everything should swap over with no problems.

No need to swap the dash... or I cant say that I can find a reason for you to anyway.

No, I didn't mean swap the dash. I was just wanting to know if you have to take the entire dash out to get to all the pedals installed?

to remove the clutch / brake pedal assy you don't
have to remove the dash, its a tight quezz under there
and it helps to pull the drivers seat out so you can fully lie
down on the job.

While your donor engine is out, if you have'nt done a cambelt
do it, like wise with any other high mileage maintenace if its needed.
