I'd drop it into the shell and bolt down the 3 motor mounts before firing it up on the floor. No need to hook up axles and wiring and all that if you just want to hear it run before investing hours into the swap.
Well I just found out this passat I'm buying is an autotrajic. The engine and trans will be gonecwhen I get it. I will def be going manual clutch cable now. What all extra crap will have to take out since its an auto? Other things I will/ wont have to do???

You can use the intercooler and some pipes from a G60 syncro B3. A B4 TDI intercooler and all the pipes will also bolt in, but the front 'baffle' won't work with the B3 bumper.
Two oil sensors are for the dynamic oil pressure warning system. One reads at idle, the other above 2,000 rpms.I've been planning to use the crank sensor (4 pulses per rev) and a flip flop to cut it in half in order to drive a tach on my mTDI, but haven't gotten a round toit.Are you talking about the flange with the three coolant glow plugs? I've considered wiring them to come on when the heater fan gets turned on high but again need to get a round toit.Vac pump is different. It's functionally the same, but the part that enters the block is larger and the o-ring is in a different position. The AAZ pump is the same, tho. I have fixed then by adding a check valve and barb nipple.Check for continuity/resistance in the glow plug rail and if it's decent, use it. These usually don't even need the glow plugs.
