2.0 LSJ Swap into NA SS simple question!!

I have a 2007 SS NA I used to have a 06 SC but bought it for resale and loved it the couple times I did drive it, my LE5 has 306km on it and first gear synchro is fair as well I was thinking about a LSj swap, I buy from salvage auctions quite oftentimes question is if I buy a whole SC car can I just drop the cradle engine trans wiring harness PCM and fuse block and put it right back up into the NA car in the reverse process and swap Is done? I have changed and engine in one of these before the LSJ was bad in the car I had bought

Probably easier to rebuild the 2.4l engine and add the blower to the 2.4

I can't repin the connectors if there's any differences? I want to do this because it seemed like the simplest way, it would be easier for me to find. Whole car than to piece together the whole swap and I don't feel like rebuilding the engine in my 4 cylinder beater car

The engine isnt hard to rebuild. It will be cheaper and way easier to do than to put a lsj in the car.

If I drop everything in the engine bay invluding cradle from the LSJ car and put it into the LE5 the only thing I have to worry about Is the wiring going into the car is It not? If I got a wrecked LSJ car for say 1000 dollars is that not a cheaper route
