easiest way would be to swap all of the looms from the EB into the EA. ALL of the looms (assuming both cars are MPFI).

Yes change the diff as well, or the 4 speed auto is really no point at all.
Lets not forget the hardest bit is the fact the gearbox is not straight bolt up, I have heard a 5 speed u-shaped gearbox mount will fit and hold the gearbox in place, or just use the standard straight one and get some brackets made like these:  Also attached is the wiring diagram if you wish to integrate the 4 speed auto computer and loom into the EA (this is how I did my conversion).

If you're in Vic I have some cheap 4 speed trans cooler lines.
 I got ripped $35 at Jollys then found I had some from my EL already in the shed.
