You have to change the support bar and headlight assemblies as well. I did it on my 87. If you don't have a parts car it can be expensive.

Without ground effects, direct swap with the reinforcement bar 
Headlights are the same, not sure where he got that from, only diff is the size of the light itself. Everything else is the same
With ground effects, Youll need to swap all the 91-92 style for the 85-90 style to look right. That includes the rear bumper cover
May I ask why your ditching the aerodynamic nose for the old blunted one?

The upper half of the headlight pod and the headlight doors are different. The plugs for the headlight are also different. The doors are aesthetically different only. The drivers side has the words PONTIAC made into them. The trim around the lights and the lower airdam parts are also different.
