Ah alright.
Well I dunno if its just me but when I put a motor in I typically change all the rubber pieces (hoses/belts/etc) just because if its an imported motor , across seas the conditions LOVE eating rubber (seasalt etc)
And yeah, it would be a smart idea to carry some incidental equipment with you for a little bit until your swap builds some confidence with you. Belts+hoses+fluids+all hardware needed to install said items,and you should be good to go
