welcome to the board.
go browse the Gen II section. i'm sure this swap has been covered in detail. however, i'll start you off with what i can.
do you plan to keep the motor turbocharged? what EMS do you plan to run it with?
the engine will bolt to the tranny just fine. what you're going to need is a flywheel and clutch setup from an S5 T2 (or aftermarket units for any T2 with the appropriate year's automatic counterweight). this is because the REW uses a different clutch setup altogether.
you're also going to have to address mounting the engine. the REW mounts from the rear housing, the FC3S is designed to mount from the intermediate. now i don't know what the intermediate housing of an REW looks like, but i suspect it's not setup to bolt the FC mounts. as i said, go search the Gen II section.

Or you could by a used 3rd Gen wiring harness and start from there....
