On an airbag car (m20 at least.....yours may be different), you can get away without trimming the firewall for the e36 rack if you switch the spacer orientation (meaning spacers sit under the rack, as opposed to on top of the rack). On a 24v swap however, the e34 oil pan does not all for the clearance of raising the rack higher, so you'd have to dremel/trim the firewall opening as to avoid a binding and grinding noise from the steering shaft.
Another "while you're in there" part to get would be the steering guibo itself as it's probably trashed and mushy from 20-some years of use.
Sorry, I turned your simple project into a $500+ adventure........but that's what comes with owning these cars I suppose.
