Well, can't answer the first question but I can the second. I just bought an 2002, but my prior car was a 90 with an L-98. The L-98 uses only one O2 sensor for the ECM feedback loop so left to right balance of the injectors is very important. In my opinion, you want a set of balanced 24# injectors (85 is different then other l_98's, more later). I went with RC Engineering which are essentially balanced Lucas injectors (not the old Lucas, but Lucas Aerospace). They are stainless steel inside so they are very resistant to water. Mine were balanced within 0.3% of each other. They also have a rise time of 0.1 msec so they are very precise. They were $63 each. On the 85, if my memory is correct, the injectors were 22# but were rated at a lower pressure. As such, they equate to 24# injectors when rated at the standard pressure.
