It should go ok, the only problem you might have is with the connection for the ECU under the dash, just check it before you start....

Some pre-facelifts had the later type engine loom connection.
If this one does then change the loom with the engine, its a lot easier

Keep the engine loom and ECU with the appropriate engine. Just change the C101 plug on the bulkhead (just inboard of the fusebox) if neccessary.
