The engine swap should have no effect on these things.
The windows will work due to the micro switches by the door hinge and the heaters will just be a case of a bit of an air lock.
Check the fuses as mentioned and the pin order in the large round connector as there are some differences depending on what years of loom you combine.

Ah well spotted. When i read that i assumed no heat not no blowers at all.
As above check your earth. If the unloaded relay is non functional then you should have no radio and a few other things as well.

Heater fan, door mirrors (heating and adjustment), heated seats, aircon., electric widows and electric sunroof are the circuits controlled by the unloader relays.

there should be three wires to the starter motor,large live cable 13mm nut,a 10mm nut and an 8mm nut all these should have wires going to them and all should be tight .

now this is where it gets interesting.
