6 bolt swap advice

I have a 92 awd laser. I'm picking up a rolling 97 talon shell awd 5speed. I'll be putting the whole 6bolt long block into the shell.

Currently on the 92 long block:
6 bolt all stock
new timing, alternator, p/s belts
new water pump
6 puck clutch

Currently on the 97 shell:
ecu dsm link v3
2g power steering
2g radiator
2g wiring harness
2g axles

Any tips on doing the 6 bolt swap?
I'll be picking up a 96 tranny/xfercase from golden763.

My to buy list:
2g alternator
2g starter mounting bracket
2g engine mounts
1g/2g conversion adaptor harness from magnus motorsports
2g isc and fuel rail??? (Is it necessary?)

Am I missing anything else? Give me some tips and advice for doing the swap. I've been reading a lot of write ups and posts on how to do the swap. Just trying to make sure I have everything. I've pulled a few motors from a 1g but this will be my first attempt at a 6 bolt swap into a 2g. Never touched a 2g. before. Leave tips/advice. Thanks

Run 2G TPS and 2G ISC. If you have a 2G head, open the head bolt holes up a tiny bit and run it, if you want better power. It is easier to just drop the whole 6-bolt in though.

Make sure, if you plan to, remove the things you don't want from the 2g engine bay while the engine is out. Makes it 1000X easier to do so.
