Default Orion rs turbo conversion

Hi, i'm looking at converting all my 1989 escort rs turbo running gear (MFI) into a 1990 1.4 Orion over the next few weeks.
Is it best to put the full turbo car loom into the orion or just the engine wiring loom and join it to the orions original loom somewhere?
Also, i take it the engine and suspension ect are just a straight swap?
Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers Jono.

Easiest bet is disconnect everything in the bay then everything in the car from the back lights forwards, all interior and dash out. Once everything inside the car is completely disconnected you can carefully feed it up through the fusebox hole and out of the car then do the reverse to put it in the Orion.
