Use the complete commodore loom, headlights to tail lights, might as well swap the petrol tanks as well and you'll have no problems.
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

Hi,  don't get rid of anything. Have transplanted vn v6 motor, gearbox, both radiator and air con radiator  full wiring harness, brake booster / master cyl,  disc brakes, instrument cluster, even fuel tank ,door handles and am working around central locking, aircon, and electric windows and mirrors all from vn donor car.  Just needs a little planning but all fits.

No but its easier to do the transplant if you still had the car.  Any bits you need its easy to get off the car than trying to get them from the wreckers.

When I did the beddie, I had a spare front axle, had the engine on the engine hoist sat in in the position i wanted it, and made the engine mounts up to what I wanted and then had them made up proffessionally fabricated.  Took a while but was able to fit the a/con compressor on the same engine mount as original.   Had to get a much longer fan belt but it all fits.
