Just two quick points the e30 318i ecu mount that you need is the m42 motor'd ones - not the early m10's,

Second for the 413 ecu; the EWS isn't the end of the world - Turner sells EWS deleting chips.

I would also change the valve cover gasket, included are the spark plug gaskets and they will fail over time.

Also, when you have the motor out, replace all the rubber fuel hose and clean the ICV.
