Default 1998 2wd lifted ford ranger 5.0 carb t-5 conversion

Ok so over the next 2 weeks I will be converting my 1998 2wd lifted ranger into a 5.0 carb with a t5. And I have a few questions, what do I do about motor mounts? Do i need a different radiator? Can I keep ac? What about he cross member? What about the shifter? I want my dash to work. Do i need a custom driveshaft? It has an 8.8 with 4.10s. And the reason the truck broke down 4 months ago comes back to it being efi. So don't suggest the explorer v8 I don't care about legality or ease. I've made my mind up about my swap don't try and change that. Any advice would be great. I don't have to pass emissions.
