CA S5 Turbo II engine swap

I have a 1990 Mazda Rx-7 Turbo II. I bought this car as a shell with only the brake booster, clutch cylinder and and uncut engine harness. Now that Im ready to start putting in the engine, I noticed that I need alot more stuff. The car didnt come without a single bracket to hold stuff in place. My question is what else would I need because theres hoses all over the place in the engine i bought. Do the brackets on N/A cars fit the turbo models? Can anyone send or post me pics of a stock Turbo II model so I can cross reference. I think that would help me out alot.

What brackets do you need? There really isn't much brackets on the car, mostly everything bolts to the existing holes on the chassis. The only things that need brackets off the top of my head would be the "MAP" sensor, the relays in front of the car, the radiator, battery, fuse box, charcoal canister.

Unless you are missing the subframe on the bottom of the engine bay, I wouldn't worry about it. You can look at my signature link, there are some engine bay shots in there to help you see what I am talking about. Everything else bolts onto the engine.
