Just wondering what is needed for a ka24e to ka24de swap. I know I'll need the DE ecu, but does it hook up to the E transmission? What about engine mounts, exhaust components, and the various hoses and EGR crap?

Your 95 is a DOHC (pop the hood and you can see it says TWIN CAM 16 VALVE) and for the 240SX, SOHCs only came in the 89-92? I believe.
