Your asking if the exhaust manifold will fit your car, right? not asking if
the engine will fit your car, right?
Even if you are, its yes on both accounts. That manifold will work on your
car, it will work great on your car. Do you have the dual C-Clamps on it
now?? If so, get it and the downpipe and put them on your car. 
The throttle body you have on your car now is better. you should keep it and
ferget the one on the 87. 
OK?

Tough question. If your gonna autox the car are you:
A. Gonna race just for fun.
B. Gonna race it in a stock class, to win.
C. Gonna race it in a faster class as a stripped out car.
D. Gonna build a total race car and do more than autox.

 It all depends on what YOU want to do with the car. (And what the Mrs. will
let you do. Gotta be brave and tell HER what your gonna do. Go ahead, be the
man! Your in Texas, you got a big yard! right?)  :)
As far as the parts go, what I said before is true, the parts will work,
except the throttle body idea. Unless yours is shot or something.
