It may depend on the year, but the only thing that comes to mind, are the radio presets. Certainly, nothing engine related. It really doesn't matter if the battery is 100% dead or not. Disconnecting it to install the new one will have the same effect. It could run a little "funny" while the cleared ECM relearns.

RACE ON!!!

I just put a new battery in my 89 and had no problems (except the radio pre-sets).

The clock will have to be reset and your trip odometer, gas mileage, and miles to go will be zero.
