The swap was pretty easy, just time consuming. The wiring was the easy part of the swap, or at least it was 4 or 5 years ago. I didn't feel that the 4wd light and reverse light were that important, so I didn't bother wiring them. I disconnected the tranny side and removed the pins; I then used silicone to seal the connectors. I bypassed the starter to get around the neutral safety switch wiring, I later found out it is pretty easy to re-wire the connector to bypass the starter.
I left the original computer and removed the separate auto transmission computer. I don't have a check engine light, but it does store a code about the neutral safety switch.
