Your SE will accept the SR20DET transplant without a hitch. The SR20DET is almost identical to the stock SR20DE you have in the car now. Oil pan is different, compression ratio is lower on DET, piston oil squirters on DET, different size injectors on DET and no EGR on DET. So really you answered your own question with the question. Motor specific parts depending on what you need. Everything else on the chasis will be for that specific car. Hope that makes sense.

You don't need to look for 240 parts. Look for transverse SR parts.
