No, there are 4 different hoods depending on the year. 1984 hoods (the shell) is unique. 85-87 are common. 88-91 (part year) are common. 91 (part year) to 96 are common.
As for putting a scoop on the hood, not that you want my opinion, but most look awful. I'd keep the stock hood.

1. What are you doing to the engine that requires a hood scoop?
2. If you buy a new hood with a rise in the center, it can look OK - in fact, some can look downright mean. But a grafted on hood scoop will always look like bubba made the modification.
