Radiator looks like it can be a good piece to swap...the inlet/outlet are both on pass. side like the aftermarket ones place them. conversion to 2wd is fairly well spelled out I would think on some TBSS forums...the intake and exhaust manifolds you got fit nicely. If the truck is essentially 'free' like you are going to scrap it or donate it, I think I'd use it yes. it's a gen IV engine without DOD I believe..should run forever.
I have a 2006 Saab 9-7 with the 5.3 and it has the DOD but I think 08/09 they stopped using it.
