All you need to do is run your Coil over plug setup and pull over the coil pack brackets.. I hope you know your going with a downgrade with the motor though, your losing about 40 horsepower.

The manifolds are all interchangeable, if possible re-use your 99 manfiifol as its a better performing peice, all sensors should carry over fine its pretty much a direct drop in. The factory tune on the ECU may varry a bit, but im not 100% sure.
