The Zionsville Autosport kit I need is EEEMC. It contains the following:

1. Right engine bracket
2. Left engine bracket
3. Engine mounts (2)
4. Spacers (2)
5. Oil pan
6. Oil pan gasket
7. Oil pick up
8. Oil pick up gasket
9. Oil level sensor
10. Oil level sensor gasket
11. Dip stick 12. Dip stick tube
13. Power steering reservoir
14. Reservoir bracket
15. Hose - pump to rack
16. Hose - reservoir to rack
17. Hose - reservoir to pump
18. Throttle cable
19. Accelerator rest
20. Modified brake booster

At this time I have acquired:
- Gauge cluster from a 88-91 e30 with a 7k redline.
- Wire harness from an e30 325 M20 for wiring up my own adapter. (I'm going to try and not cut wires if I don't have to).
- M50 computer
- I hear I can use just a regular E36 325i driveshaft if I use the regular E36 325i tranny. Well that's what I have.
- Stock E36 325i exhaust, but I'm sure it'll need some modification.
- E36 radiator and possibly overflow tank.
- One of the two large E36 coolant hoses (to radiator).
- I'm planning on zionsvilleautosport's kit. It has the oil pan, mounts, PS parts, and more.
- Aircon is a partial mystery to me at this point. I have the E36 compressor. I'm not worried about this much right now. I just want to get it running.
