For most boosters disconnect the rod to the brake pedal (bolt through the pedal arm), then remove the master cylinder (keep lines attached and just move out of the way). Then remove the 4 bolts holding it to the firewall. Most likely the '89 booster won't fit, but you could ask at a salvage yard or have a parts store check if the part numbers are the same.
When getting a new one, write down the numbers that are stamped into the booster body - there were several different ones used.
