John, looks good!

Did you go the extra mile to make the volume buttons work?

yea, i've been watching the prices of used 2010's and with the 13's out now some of the guys will be trading, and when the 14's come out, more will be traded and the price will keep falling...and since they can get them at what they own it for, might as well go for it

I looked into it, I can always do that at a later time. Just not sure how I'd go about passing the wires through that other plug, I need to find another connector I can solder the extra wires to, and from there from what I saw it was simple enough you can actually connect to wires 18/19 on the shaker to control volume and next/prev track. But for now just cruise control works which I'm ok with

Since I'm swapping in an 03 4.6 will I need to get it tuned? And should I look into a new fuel pump?

I've read around online that some guys needed tunes, others ran it like it was.

Were the 96' a 4.6 or a 5.0?

I have very little knowledge of the SN95's. What size fuel pump do you have? Shouldn't be such a huge bump in power to require a new fuel pump going to the 03 motor though.

94-95 are 5.0's
96-98 were NPI 4.6's
99-04 were PI 4.6's

With that said I don't believe you need a different fuel setup since both PI and NPI 4.6 engines use the same 19lb injectors and fuel pump, the main difference between the years was the early SN95 used a return style fuel system and the new edges used a return-less setup, but this won't matter since the NPI fuel rails should work just fine on a PI intake. I would definitely recommend a tune either way to get the most out of the engine, but you should be able to at least drive it on the stock tune since both engines run more or less the same.
