that would save a lot of head ache. next is figuring out wiring. and if its possible to keep the axle disconnect.
A 21 spline case from an 87 to 90 will bolt right in.
You can install the shifter and bezel to make it like factory.
You want to get rid of the axle disconnect, not keep it. Here's how, and why:

CAD STINKS
The big issue is that the CAD system only fails when you need it the most.
Kinda like when you don't realize your wiper blades need replacing until it rains....
I know somebody’s system works and he advocates keeping it stock, but my exposure to the failures is probably hundreds of times greater than his, as a result of being Service Manager at a Jeep dealership from 1980 through 1992, and being a current XJ and MJ owner.
CAD stinks. Every Jeep I work on with it, I eliminate it. Guess what I find in the process? 25 year old busted vacuum lines, bloated vacuum line connectors, bad vacuum reservoirs and piping, bad transfer case vacuum switches. In other words, had the person gotten into a sticky situation and needed 4WD, they would have been screwed!!!
That's the tip of the iceberg. The factory went through 3 revisions of the shift fork also. The fork issue is non-existent if you just slide it over and leave it.
See the link below for complete instructions. Takes less than 1/2 hour.
