Default Minimums needed for rear end swap?

I've tried doing a search, but haven't come up with much.

Let's say I've got a Moser 9" coming in the mail. I know that not everything in life is plug-and-play. What is the bare minimum that I would need for the swap?
I would suspect braided brake lines, 1350 U-Joints installed on the driveshaft, adjustable panhard rod, and anything else?

I won't be running the rear forever like that, but I'm still having problems with my 10 bolt and I'd rather bite the bullet and upgrade. I'm not dropping another penny in my stock hunk of junk.

What will the washers and nuts be used for? I guess the housing bolts? I would have figured that since it's a complete rear that moser would send the washers and nuts. Thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks for the info guys! Will the stock torque arm suffice for the time being? It's not going to be a track car for a good while.

I dont think the gear comes installed in the 9inch so you'll need some quality stuff ... besides who would trust someone at Moser or anywhere else for that matter that they cleaned the housing out good enough...When I got mine it was filthy... grindings weld spatter.. Its all part of the process so its not that big of a deal but you have to protect your investment...The AN washers will help seal the holes in the 3rd member they will weap a little if you dont ,its good paratice to use washers anyways unless its a broken lock washer which is pointless but thats a whole other story

does it come with mounts for the anti-roll bar? if not, you'll need some of those.

Right on. You need the Napa pn# 240-0447 conversion u joint to reuse the stock driveshaft. 2 ft of vacuum line for the vent on the rear, and two 3.00" exhaust clamps for the sway bar. You use the U part of the clamp, slip it over the housing, and reuse the bottom part of the sway bar clamp. You do have to oblong the holes in the lower part of the sway bar clamp, but it's easily done. Bob
