The swap will be worth it, like a new truck!

Be sure to take that intake manifold off when installing the engine, it'll it make it a lot easier and you won't crack it.
Might want to get the trans out of the way too, lining it up can be a pita.
We typically just remove the trans when we pull the engine, makes it a lot easier and only takes a few more minutes, well worth it, IMO.

good luck,
