79 Engine -> 82 car

Anyone forsee any obstacles going with this swap? Blown engine in 82 car and I have a good 79 car with rebuilt engine. Should be relatively easy, Just making sure I wont forget anything, you guys seem to know everything

I am not worried about the carb, I am having my OER and RB header on it. Just making sure all the lines from the 79 are in the same place as the 82. I have read so much on here that I cannot keep track of what years had what done. longer radiator/beehive/etc kind of things. I know it wont have the beehive, but its just another example :p

I was thinking the dizzy! Guess I should have mentioned it instead of worrying about looking like an *** haha.

So should I keep everything on the 82 car that is 82? or should I mix and match 79 & 82 parts?
