the pins themselves are physically different, so can't be done directly.

however, you could hook up a secondary port in parallel and have both available.

some of the early 4T60Es didn't have a trans temp sensor. the various modes are all fairly application specific. some ECMs don't support certain modes and those that do rarely have the same sequence of bytes to control their mode4 functions. would have to disassemble a BIN and find the commands to s...

a 1990 is MOST LIKELY to be $88, though there were still some $6D cars. would need to see what BCC is listed on the MEMCAL to be 100% certain.
