Post Hypertech chip and timing ??

OK. I've got the engine, trans and rear-end swapped from my '86 convertible to the '93 GT. It didn't quite have the "Light-em-up-ability" of the convertible, plus I was getting some pinging on the top end. Timing was set to 16 just like it was on the '86. So I went to swap the computer and I find out the '93 already has an A3M with Hypertech Power Module on it. The '86 has the A3M1. I know most of you don't like the generic chips, but...
1) Since I already have it should I use the Hypertech? If I do, should I set the base timing back to 10?
2) Is there any difference between the A3M and the A3M1?
3) Would an A9L make a big difference?
