New engine acquired for HO conversion of the wagon
I just know that I have a few quarts of MercV in the garage so if I can use it, might as well.
They don't cover these cars in the book they have at the store

Mercon is out of production now. Anything that used it has been officially updated to Mercon V per Ford. You can get generic Merc/Dex III compatible fluid though.

I wanted to see if anyone has a diagram or better yet a picture of how the lines all run to the upper intake, there are quite a few connections on there.
I know there are coolant lines on the EGR spacer, I thought I labeled everything when I took the engine out but either the labels freed themselves or I didn't do it.
I have all new vacuum lines that I'll throw on there when I put it back together, I just need to know where it all goes.
Thanks for all the help so far guys, I do appreciate all of it.
I'm wiring up the MAF and gauges today, the engine should go in tomorrow or friday. I have to bring the H-pipe to the exhaust shop and have them weld up the smog tube and add the wideband O2 sensor bung so I'm waiting on a few bits to be complete.

The engine is in, exhaust is mounted through the H-pipe.
It should be running by the weekend, yes I am slow.

Cool. That is where I am putting my gauge. I never read the instructions yet on the autometer I picked up so I just wanted to see how others have done it.
Is there any ill effect to deleting the EGR cooler?

On a daily driver? Do you just use a vacuum cap on the inlet?

I routed the small hose from the heater hose down to the nipple on the lower intake and cut the short hose from the nipple to the cooler and just poked it over both inlet and outlet on the cooler. You don't need to cover those ports, but I did it just in case the gasket gets a leak so it'll prevent a vacuum leak.
You see, the Explorer intake doesn't have a hole for the nipple that would be the return for the cooler, I just have the nipple on the heater tube that needs to be covered. I'll just put a cap on it and see what happens.
I just got a response from Dorman on the Contour dual fan that people here like to use, the official response is that the left fan moves 1006.7 cfm and the right fan moves 1113.7 cfm(2120.4 cfm for both)
