take the harness off the motor completly... remove anything not pertaining to the motor swap.... first mount u wanna bolt onto the MOTOR is the rear bracket to the block !!!!!! then align it into th mount... then do the timin belt mount then the trans mount then the 2 mounts on the side...
MAKE SURE THE REAR BRACKET IS ON THE MOTOR FIRST... LOWER IT ON TO THE MOUNT... ur life will be so much easier that way

he meant wiring harness.

You dropping the tranny in at the same time as the motor, I assume? Well then, I would change the tranny fluid while the thing is out.

I personally, would install anything you can onto the engine while it's out. Intake manifold included.
