Vaya Con Dios and good luck
For starters, chilton doesn't have a repair manual on a Z32 available at a parts store. You can however, buy one on ebay for about 5 dollars plus shipping or I can just email you a copy of my electronic one for $5. The swap is not as hard as it may seem. But a manual is definetly a must. When you start removing shit a good rule of thumb is to lable every vacuum line so you know where it goes when you put the new motor in. You can also do some mods while the engine is out. Anyhow good luck.
