Seeking help/info on S-10 Blazer (transplant)

I know nothing about this model, but,

I have a chance to do a favor for a neighbor whose son trashed the engine in his '84 S-10 5-speed. I found a wrecked '89 auto, 4.3L in good running condition. I plan to transplant the engine and maybe the trans from the '89 into the '84 (frame damaged on the '89).

Is this a weekend project for someone who has done engine/trans conversions before?

Tried google and didn't find any useful info, just a lot 'For Sale'.

Any major gotchas'? Like different engine mounts or other structural changes? Driveshaft lengths OK going from manual to auto? How about wire harness diffs?

Do I jump into this one or leave it alone? Remember, this is a favor, no money involved....

Thanks,
