Answer
Brian,

I think you are on the right path.  But, there are a few sensors that have been moved around.  Be sure to look at your old engine and compare where the sensors are located and the connection type.  I have done many engine swaps and you usually need to take a few components, like sensors and brackets, to make the new engine work properly with the engine management system.
