2nd gen Engine/Trans swap? - Dodge Diesel

Well, my 92 has been down for over a month now, and I'm starting to think up crazy ideas like building an auto for it, driving my non turbo IDI Ford has me going pretty nuts... LOL

Anyhow, I should finally be able to pick up my parts donor next weekend, it's a 96 2500. I'm probably going to swap the P-pump engine over along with the 4500, just curious what kind of a project I'm getting myself into.
I'm assuming I'll need to keep the accessories, fan, bracketry, etc off of the stock engine, I know about needing to swap the damper and CPS, just curious what else I'm going to need to swap.
Also, what is the best route to go for exhaust? Can I fit a second gen downpipe in there?
