Suspension can stay stock. The motor isn't that much heavier or anything.

Research what you need for the swap. This is an extremely common question.

Re-use your stock engine harness. Just cut and extend the wires as needed.

Ok, OBD1 vehicle with an OBD2 motor No problem.

Keep you current harness, cut extend any wires which need to be lengthened/shortened, buy P28, or OBD1 P72, and be done.

I would definitely research more about any wiring differences that you will come across. I have not done the swap personally, but I am sure there are a few little things. Nothing to warranty you having to buy an entire harness or anything like that.
