1996 is the year that most automobile manufacturers converted from OBD I (On Board Diagnostic I) codes to OBD II codes. There are 'code scan tools' and 'engine scan tools', the difference being that codes scan tools can read the OBD codes from the vehicle and erase them, and engine scan tools do the above, in addition to read live data from all of the sensors while the engine is running. These latter tools are more expensive, but depending on the type of work that you plan on doing, you need to choose which type of scan tool that you need. I just bought an Actron CP9175 at Sears yesterday for $79.99 ($50 off) which is a code scan tool that reads OBD II codes only. The more expensive engine scanning tools often read both OBD I and OBD II codes. Sears has these tools online, as well.

Will 1994 Chevy Suburban 350 motor bolt up to 1996 Chevy Suburban?

I don't think so, given that the engine became computer controlled in 1996. I they are the same size they might bolt up just fine but I'm not sure how much work it would be to convert it to computer control. The Suburban and Silverado drive trains were almost unchanged from 1988 thru 1995 and 1996 thru 2000.
