As others have mentioned there will be board changes needed. It looks like you have a 2nd gen based on your avatar. So you'd need to add an LM1815 circuit or use a Zeal card, then add pullup resistors to the status LEDs.

That's after undoing the changes made for it to run the Mustang.

Wow serious moisture (damage?). Every component on that board should be tested.

That is not usable. Not only is it a VERY old 2.2 which can't properly handle low impedance injectors without a load of noise and needs a whole VR conditioner board added (Veal, or custom) to handle the RX-7 CAS, but it looks like it original ran Noah's arc! that board has seen extensive water damage and even if it works now, it will fail in short order. Possibly with lockups/ignition misfires that will take your engine with it.

even the ms v3 4 layer board has noise issues if you read the ms extra forum posts...and people even run ms3 on those v2.2 boards...but obviously there is no reason to get one over a ms v3.0 board unless you have an earlier board already and a gluten for punishment and don't mind doing the added work on it...V2.2 board requires add on boards and workarounds which make it messy inside the case...I definitely wouldn't use that board as people have stated above
