if its a 91 model
you have to remove and install from under the hood
first remove the connector bolt 10mm head
then remove the two retainer flange nuts 7/16 heads
remove the retainer
then remove a couple of the screws from the plastic inner fender panel around teh area of the processor use a long screwdriver and a rag between the fender and the inner fender and gently pry down the plastic inner fender to allow enough room to remove and replace the processor

With a price like that its really hard to justify the cost of an aftermarket computer. Hope it works for you, good luck.
