Spalding 5.3/4L603 setups - What else is needed?

Ok. Going to do the 5.3L/4L60E swap into my truck and i like the idea of the low mileage prettly complete package from Spalding. I don't have a ton of space for a build (any really) and this is something my mechanic can drop in for me pretty easily and bonus, it's ready to run. Anyways

So I buy the package from Spalding then to complete the build

1. Engine Mounts
2. Transmission cross member or mounts of some sort
3. Drive Shaft
4. Fuel Pump or anything else fuel related? I've already relocated the tank under the bed
5. Cooling? Radiator and or transmission cooler? Anything else here to look into? Electric fan setup

I know the speedo, tach, oil pressue etc will take some adapters or something to go from electrical to mechanical or I could probably change the gauges or something, I will look into that and know that's something I can do in the garage.

I'm probably grossly over simplifying (I always do) but what "big" parts am I missing?

Haven't been around in a while, hope everyone is doing well. Still got and driving my dads old 72

It's also going to get new suspension (thinking 2/4 drop), new shoes and a new paintjob (still black) but I want to get the engine and trasmission buttoned up first
