Well i can tell you right now that you do.
90-93 had the 6 bolt... and the 94 (still a 1g) had the 7 bolt. That is a common mistake!
94-99 had the 7 bolt.

RE: 6 or 7 bolt?
It refers to the number of bolts that attach the flywheel.
The 7 bolt has a problem that is called 'crankwalk' its not massivly common but it destroys the engine. Some 7 bolts never experiance it.. and some do. There is no way of telling.
The 6 bolts are a little stronger.. and dont get crankwalk. But it is expensive to swap the 6 bolt into a 7 bolt car... like... 3000 expensive.. not including the cost of the engine.

I was always told it was 93.5+ that had the 7 bolt.
I wouldnt swap the 6 bolt in. I just dont think its worth it... unless you plan on keeping the car for another 150k miles?
