Opinions Needed! Motor Swap turned Pain in the Butt.

I was just going to pull the motor and put in the new one.
I got the motor out and decided to paint the firewall and inner fenders.
Problem is, I don't paint ( not properly anyway )!

Opinions wanted.

1) Should I properly paint the firewall or just rattle can it? It is not a show truck!

2) Should I POR 15 the front of the frame? Again, it's not a show truck.

3) I have a Painless wireing harness. Should I use it or order an engine harness from LMC. I don't have any wireing issues with this truck, but I do have another truck with issues. Should I use it on this one?

4) What should I do about the rust hole in the firewall? It doesn't go all the way through to the floor, but is a future problem. I would have to pull the carpet to fix it right (burn insulation and or carpet ). Should I wait untill the next restore?

5) Should I pull the brake booster to clean it up and paint it? My brakes were working great and I hate to mess up a good thing!

I know I am just being lazy, but I just want to put the motor in and drive! Problem is that I already took off the fenders, inner fenders, and cowl. I'm too far in to stop!

Help a Lazy Azz!

Thanks

John
