Message	but my thinking is if I'm replacing the harness, already have a pre-96 motor, am missing the rear o2s, why not go ahead and ditch the obd2 for future upgrade purposes? My original intention was just to do maintenance and drive it on occasion, but now that I'm this deep into it I am just considering the option. As far as obd2 getting classic car registration, TXDMV doesn't mention anything about it but I guess they haven't had to deal with it since there aren't any over 25 years old yet.
