Default Engine install help

Ok I took over a V6 to V8 conversion. I know maybe not such a smart idea. It was a great deal and the guy swore he had the car running with the 4.6 in it and was getting ready to pull it out and convert to a 5.0. However he ran into financial problems sold the 5.0 and then the car. I was going to purchase a book to help me finish reinstalling the 4.6 but I figure there has to be some good help on here for the questions I might have.

This image is of a connector on the left side of the engine (looking in from the front). I have no idea where it goes.

This image is of a connector coming from behind the engine. I have a very similar connector that is in the same location coming from the left side. However they are both female plugs.

This image has the other connector as mentioned in the prior post as well as these clips that I have no idea what they are for.

This image has a part in which I have two of, again no idea where they go.

I also have two O2 sensor bung in the headers and two in the X-pipe. Do I only need to connect two if so which ones if I need to connect all four I can only find two connectors in the wire harness?

Any help would be appreciated. I am sure I will have many more questions to come.

I believe the first big connector is for the ABS controller...

the second may be an O2 connector?

in the first image, the green connector is for your o2 sensor, in the second pic i cant tell you what that white clip is for, and in the third pic, that bracket is for the radiator support.
just plug in all your o2 sensor. then when you get it programmed you can delete the 2 rear ones if you want to run an o/r x pipe. the only one you would be running would the the two in the headers.

the white clip looks like the clip that holds the fuel line together

I didnt read the other replies, so I may be repeating what they already said. But the first picture is your ABS module connector. The second, green plug, is for your 02 sensors...both sides are the same. 3rd picture is a connector for your A/C lines, they snap together like fuel lines then that piece sorta slides over to keep the two ends together. The last picture, of the black bracket, is for your radiator. There are two of them and they are what bolt the top of the radiator down on the rad. support.

Any other questions?

Awesome, Thanks for the help. It is actually nice to get some good help from a forum. It seems on so many other forums people just wait for these questions so they can slam you with how dumb you are. I am sure I will have some more questions down the road but that will get me headed in the right direction.
