Here is a couple of detail pics Matt. Basically you would need to remove all the inner panels from the rear of the car. Mine runs a 911 muffler so the rear valance has been cut below the bumper to accomadate this.

There is a cross brace fitted at the top of the engine bay and this supports the motor with a rubber mounted aluminium mounting. See pic.

At the rear of the motor there is a long cross mount (similar to the porsche mounting) that is mounted very low. See pic also.

At the front a hole has been cut in the RHS to house the 10ltr alloy oil tank.
Oil is moved from front to rear thru 3/4 copper tubing running along the inner sills on both sides. If I was starting from scratch I would go for 1" Stainless all round.

A remote oil filter is mounted horizontally beside the transmission on the return oil line.
On the suction side the lines are all kept well below the center line of the motor to ensure that the main oil pump is always flooded with oil.

Trans is a single side plate VW. Bolts right up with the right combination of clutch and pressure plate.

If you are running MFI (like mine) you will need to run an extra fuel line. I use the original line as a return and fitted a larger 7mm supply line. Probably a little small and this may be changed one day on my car.
