FWIW, I was just pulling parts off of a '94 EX and noticed that it had what looked to be the same gas-door + trunk-release lever assembly that are on the later Del Sols. The greater distance to the trunk latch implies that the trunk release cable is longer, but that's hardly the penalty of it being shorter.
I've retrofit both my '93 S and '94 SI Del Sols with the trunk release lever (failing both times to attach the newer latch's front bolt) - and it is very nice to have on those sunny days when the roof needs to come off.
