It has been in the car for 8 or 9 months now and I haven't had a single CEL.

Glad to hear it, I'm planning to use the old ECU as well. Wonder what the OP used?

Appreciate the feedback, I was aware of the vacuum pump/flywheel but will have to look for the oil line. From the parts diagrams I've seen so far it looks like there are a couple other parts that are different between the two as well:
Upper oil pan
Right camshaft carrier
Not sure how important those differences are.
