I have purchased a 1991 240sx with a blown Ka24e and it comes with an uninstalled Ka24de with 90,000km's from a 93 donor car both standard transmission, now the questions

there was a step by step how to on this swap and it made it seem like it could be done in a fairly short amount of time,

Question 1: Is it a straight swap? like will all of the wiring from the Ka24e work with the Ka24de

Question 2: The blown engine comes with 550cc fuel injectors are those transferable to the Ka24e I have read that they dont fit because the twin cam uses a different fuel injectors just wanted to get more input

Question 3: blown ka24e has a injen cold air intake, is it transferable to the de with some cuts if necessary?

Question 4: I do not want to remove the air conditioning but the Ka24de did not come with a compressor, the DIY on swapping the engines said " Step 4. Remove A/C lines. You will have to get custom lines made if you want to keep A/C, OR make a custom bracket for your SOHC compressor to adapt to the new motor." Has anyone else done this and kept the A/C? if so let me know what you did

Here are some pictures of the car it was bought for 2500 with the new engine, no rust all undercoated but It needs to be painted, Im going to get it done black and change the tail lights Whats your input?
