99 to 03 and tran swap wiring questions

[njdriver02]

i am swapping in a 03' 4.0 sohc and t5 5 speed into my 99 4.0 auto 4by4.

i am working with my buddy who is a great mechanic, specially with electrical work. there are a few things I was wondering about before we start the swap.

I have the clutch pedal assembly from my wrecked 02 ranger and i was wondering if i can avoid having to hook up the wiring on the clutch which i assume lets the computer know the clutch is compressed when starting the truck. I don't need it or any lecture on safety from other forum members (i have seen this before and its annoying"

Second, I have the engine harness from the 03' 4.0, will it be a direct plug and play into the other harness?

I know I need to get a computer from a 03 4.0 5speed, will I need to do anything else to make this work?

we were able to splice the 03' manual 4.0 harness with a 03 4.0 auto computer, to work with the 99 with the auto tran. issue we had was with the p.a.t.s and the way the signal is sent to the computer. i was able to use the one piece off my wrecked 02 ignition, i think it is the transmitter.
