Default 97 body and motor swap

I have a 97 ranger ext cab(auto) and a 99 (standard) with the frame cut off behind the cab. I want to switch the body motor and tranny onto the 97 frame. what problems should i be prepared for? will the cab mounts be direct fit? what driveshaft or parts will i need? will my transfer case bolt up to the manual? also different trans. crossmember? any help before i decide to start this would be appreciated
