Default '90 LX 5.O strip

I have an amazing opportunity to go strip a '90 LX 5.O fox tomorrow. I'm gathering parts to swap a 2.3 to a 5.O anything specific I need? I'm pulling the following:
1. motor
2. trans(T5)
3. 8.8 rear end
4. Front suspension
5. Spindles
6. Master Cylinder(would I need the booster?)
7. Full wiring harness with computer
8. Drive shaft
9. Cross member

Anything else I need? The 4-cylinder fox is EFI, and I want to go to a carb set-up.
Also, should I take the rack and pinion with the P/S pump? Or just the brackets? What about the alternator?
Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance y'all

Front brakes complete, including dust shield, flexible brake lines and brake line brackets. Brake lines and fuel lines running from the front to the rear are different. the rack and pinion, steering pump, and lines are all different as well. Second set of muffler brackets if you plan to run a full exhaust. If the 4 cyl car was an automatic, you'll need the transmission cross member and the brake pedal support. The instrument cluster.

I grabbed the whole K member. Everything on it. Just dropped it out. Also, I took the pedals and clutch cable. It had no cluster. But I have one out of an 88 gt. Would that work?

Don't know for sure, but probably. If the wire connectors fit, the odds are excellent. You should change it because the tach won't read right once you switch to the V8. I believe the 140mph speedo started in 89 on 5.0 models.

Could I remove just parts of the harness to make my EFI 4-cylinder into a carb 5.O? I've heard yes.
