I beleive they are the same, according to your sig. you have an auto trans, you will have to buy an auto trans PCM to make everything work properly. 94 and 95 share the same PCM an Impala, Roadmaster, Cadillac PCM may also be the same. I just recently purchased a used PCM from a wrecking yard and was unable to pull it out of the car myself, they had them all pulled out and on shelves, so what I did was match up the part # and serv. # to the numbers on my PCM and everything worked out great for me.

All 94-95 LT1 Camaro, Firebird, Roadmaster, Caprice, Fleetwood and Impala PCMs were identical as far as hardware goes. The differences between them were the knock module and the flash calibration. (software) Corvettes had both these PCMs (service number 16188051) and another, compatible PCM (service number 16181333) which can be reprogrammed to work in the above listed vehicles.

I'd highly recommend getting the PCM reflashed to match your VIN since the 95 PCM could have a program for a different transmission and/or gear ratio which may cause your car to not shift right. Swapping a 95 M6 PCM in a 94 M6 car is no problem.
