Swapping seats from '90 to '94

I'm about to swap out seats from the 90 to the 94. Theyre in waaaay better shape, have a lot of cushion left, and all of the adjustment motors work. Does anyone have any tips before I start? I've seen a ton of YouTube videos about people doing it. The donor car has memory seats, but the receiving car doesn't...So I guess I'll need to swap out the connectors?

I tried to swap the doors, but they're the wrong shade of white, haha. This is the donor, its actually in great shape. Any ideas what I should do with it? Has 240K miles.

Why would you go backwards in time with seat improvements in the latter year models?

That being noted, more reading for you.

cause they’re in much better shape and every adjustment works. My father in law got the ones that are in it now recovered and they used a very cheap vinyl and removed all the padding. Functionally they are identical seat designs from what I can tell, just that the older cars seats have memory settings.
