Default Cavalier Engine Swap

Hey,


So I threw a 2.2L out of a 92 Cav into a 97 Cav without doing the proper research. Any way to bypass the cam and crank sensors so that I can get the car running?? The car is just being used as an enduro car so any fix offered doesn't need to be legal or proper, whatever it takes to make it run for awhile.

Thanks !
