Keep the engine in your '90 unless it's worn out. It's a stronger engine than the '88 (assuming the '88 engine was rebuilt to '88 specs). The two cars also use different fuel systems, so swaping the engines would mean dealing with the sensors and wiring that differ between them.

The wheels should fit fine.

I don't know if the brakes are the same.

From the '88, keep the transmission with the shifter, overdrive relay/wiring, keep the engine with the manifolds/turbo/wiring/sensors/AMM/ECU/alternator, power steering pump/hoses/tank, the intercooler, intercooler hoses, radiator, rad hoses, etc. If there's any good parts of the exhaust, keep it. If the front wasn't smashed, take off the headlights, grille, and turn signals and sell them. Keep the interior, door panels, etc. Basically, remove and store as much as you can unless you plan to keep the entire '88 car.
