I completed a somewhat more limited transplant last summer: motor from a '93 900S mated to the 5-speed from my '88, used to replace drivetrain in my (nearly) rust-free '93 3dr chassis. I can't describe how much I love driving my FrankenSaab, but please note that I didn't have to deal with engine harness issues, that was all plug-and-play. I'm not sure, but I think you'll have to climb that hill if moving the '90 motor into the '87 OS environment. It's probably do-able, but may be very painful and expensive to get it right.
Personally, I'd work on perfecting the '87 while you drive the '90 into the ground. I was able/forced to do my transplants due to circumstance, sounds to me like you have more options. I think it would be better to get all of the goodie out of the '90 and then turn to the refurnished '87.
My 2 cents...
