Hi everyone, I am looking at doing an engine swap soon (V8 into VCT 6) and would like to confirm the following:
Are the air con compressors the same? (Seems to be.) To confirm, I don't need to swap them over as well, just remove from engine and move out of way before removing engine? Are the power steering pumps the same as well? To confirm, I don't need to swap them over also? Would a torque converter from an i6 BTR fit the V8 BTR? (I understand the stall speed needs to suit the V8, but I have a hi-stall and might use it again if possible.) Thank you!

I guess the first two questions relate to mounting, if they would mount back on the same (or require a bracket swapover) and match the pulley system, etc?

Thanks. There's whole bunch of differences, as I am using FAT245's list as a guide for this work:
