I was reading European Car last month in the airport
and they had a engine swap section with some guy who
put one in a 91 coupe.  I believe the major issues are
having to make motor mounts, clearing the brake MC and
booster, and having to front-mount a radiator.  The
brake system may not be an issue on a type 89 because
if I remember right, he swapped in the vacuum assist
booster from a type 89 for clearence.  If you have
ABS, that will probably have to go.
