Agree. I didn't have to relocate any of those things when I did my swap.

I actually ditched my stock overflow tank for the later bigger one you can add coolant to. I put it in the same spot as the original one, it would be out of like a 91-94 Explorer.

That was just a perferance thing, as long as you are messing with the old pushrod 5.0 you shouldn't have to touch anything you have listed.
