Yes, use the sensors and junk from the 98.

Yes, if you remove the radiator, condenser, and header panel the engine and transmission will slide out with ease.

Water pump, timing chain, all new gaskets and seals, and clean the bujeezus out of it. A complete tuneup would be a good idea too.

I don't think the 95 transmission will work on your 98XJ. The electrical is different.
