Its a straight in swap. Just use the upper radiator hose from the donor
car. 

The only problem you might have is the knock sensor. (KS) If you dont use
it on the motor, you might have a pinging problem. You could remedy that
by retarding the ignition but fior how long? The Potterman tried this
until he finally had to break down and install the KS system too.
Especially if you plan to mod the motor any.
