couple questions about 4cyl to V6 swap

i have all the mechanical knowledge to do it, and i've done many other cars before (nissan, honda, VW etc.) heres my problems:

The car is a buddy of mine's he screwed up the 4 cyl. engine pretty well, so it needs a swap. I have found a parts car but its a V6. buddies is a 93 and this car is a 92. i will have both COMPLETE cars, so....

im assuming the mounts can be used from the V6, and do they mount in the same location or will i have to do some welding?

any major differences from 92-93? should both be OBD1, also, what are the differences for sensors etc.?

will i need to swap the complete harness over to the other car? or will i be able to use the 4 cyl one?

and lastly is there anything here im forgetting that might be a snag? I appreciate the help, and like i said i've done this sort of thing before so i have a pretty good idea how deap im getting in, just wanna see if anyone here has done it, im betting someone has....

Thanks

Doug
