ok i have the same car (ae82 fwd sedan), same engine (4alc), dropping in a silvertop 20V. how soon are you guys planning to do your swaps? biggest thing is wiring, get somebody who knows what theyre doing and has experience in something like this and save yourself the headache. as for the driveshafts i can't answer that, but i should be dropping in my silvertop soon, so i'll let you know (but i have heard the original shafts will work). as to what you need to replace to get it running well is up to what condition the parts your starting off with are in. definately refresh the engine with atleast some belts, plugs, cap, filters, and check things like the water pump.
as for the fuel issue, putting carbs on the 4age would just be an expensive solution, just get an efi tank, with the in-tank pump. mines out of an ae92, i've yet to put it in, but i'll let everybody know how it fits up. you just fit your carb'd tank with a electric pump, but there's no baffles so fuel will slosh around on sharp movements and you could starve out your pump/engine.
then your into the little things like rolla_guy said, lines and hoses, etc. exhaust should be done (if it isn't already rotting). the 4alc manifold exits on the rear of the engine while the 4age's exit on the front, so even if you want to leave your stock exhaust on there you'll have to do some work. you'll need a new radiator, 1. because it probably needs replacing anyway. and 2. the coolant inlet and outlet's are in different places, you can use an ae92 4afe rad though. another small thing that's often over looked is the throttle cable. you'll either have to modify you carb'd cable to work on the throttle of a 4age, or find something else that will work. i'm heading to the wreckers soon to raid the corolla's there for a throttle cable that will fit.
