Harness will need some modification. You will need manual parts engine will bolt right in, trans will with correct manual parts. Do some searching, your answer has been said over and over.

Motor will bolt right in, trans will as long as you have a manual brace. All the wiring is pretty straight forward aswell just plug everything in and make a jumper for the gray plug by the bat, you will need to splice a few wires for the dash harness (cant seem to find a link to the thread for that) should be 6 or 7 wires for all your gauges. Be sure to do the clutch peddle and have as much as possible hooked up on the sr before putting it in the car to save some time.

When i did my swap i had everything already on the motor before dropping it in. All of 2 hours later she fired right up first try. Keep it simple and take the time to do as much prep as possible. Trust and belive it will save you hours of headaches later.
