Default questions on accessories for my 5.3

I've got a 2006 5.3, I need to get all of the accessories and brackets. I picked up an 03 cable throttle body, but I need a MAF.

Are the accessories on the trucks and vans the same?

Are the accessories on the 90s 5.7 compatible?

I have one set of 06 coil packs, I picked up 2 sets from the junkyard for an 03, they appear a bit different, maybe it's just the mounting, will they work OK?

I have all or most of the 06 harness, haven't had time checked it out close up yet. What are the best vehicles to get an ECU and harness from as far as ease of programming.

I'm not extremely knowledgeable about motors so I appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Van and truck accessories are the same.
90s LT1 accessories wont work.
Not sure on coils.
Your 06 harness is set up for DBW TB. Later ecus don't have provision for IAC, so cable TB will be a problem.

Is one particularly better than the other?

I'm running DBW on both my cars.
Just try to get the pedal, TAC, and ECU from the same vehicle.
You could go with cable if you get a 411 ecu and harness set up for cable.
