Default Engine Replacement, Harness Question

I'm replacing the blown engine in my '97 ti. The replacement engine I sourced is from a '96 ti. I was planning on swapping in the new harness but have found that the wiring is a little different between the replacement and original harnesses. In addition to the large DME connector, the original harness as a small wire (ground??, I can't see what it's connected to) connected in the DME cavity. This extra wire is not present on the new harness and doesn't appear to have ever been there.

Replacement DME is 1 432 763
Original DME is 1 429 924

So my plan now is to use the original DME and harness with the replacement motor. Should I expect any problems?

TIA,
Joe

There are others more knowledgeable than me when it comes to swapping M44's, but the best plan seems to be the one you are going with;

Keep the DME and harness that are original to the car.

Good Luck, and keep us posted...
