what all gets swapped in an engine swap???

i'm having my 2.8 swapped for a 5.7 next week and i wanna make sure this guy swaps everything that needs to be swapped. everything is comming out of an 88 iroc which was wrecked in the back with less than 20k on it, so all the parts will already be there. no running around looking. i would just like to have a list i could show him to make sure, so i feel more confortable. thanks for your help.

the engine, all the accesories on the front of the engine, the esc, the ecm, the wiring harness to the ecm. most likely several other relays along the firewall and several things i forgot.

Transmission: 4L80E/4L80E

...and all sensors; radiator and fan(s) w/relay(s); transmission w/clutch parts if manual/cooler lines, shifter, cable if auto; rear cross member & mount; drive shaft and torque arm; front engine mounts; front brake lines; front springs, sway bar & frame braces; a/c hoses; fuel lines, and fuel pump & wiring if V-6 carb; throttle, cruise and TV cables; air cleaner; vapor canistor & lines; power steering lines; tach. I'm probably forgetting something.

What year is the V-6 car? If earlier than '86, you're probably looking at the dash harnesses as well, which will have to be spliced (different connectors) to the rear chassis harness.

I can't imagine someone agreeing to be paid to do this, or agreeing to pay someone to do it. This is a project, not a job. See sig if you don't think I know what I'm talking about.
