Hey,
First off, there maybe a reason people haven't replied... because there are a few threads on how and what you'll need for the swap. I for one did this swap.

always use the search bar at the top and you'll find threads about it in the Forced Induction forums.

so in the future please try using that

I will help ya out though.

motor mounts depend on what Transmission you are wanting to put in the car. the GT 5S-FE Trans you need to drill a couple holes in the body and thats about it. the MR2 E153 needs more work for it to be installed (I don't know what sorry) the Celica 3S-GTE trans can't be used unless you plan on doing a huge conversion so AWD.

Assuming you go with the 5S-FE route, you need a few things for the transmission:
GT Axles
GT Shifter cables,
a clutch kit with a 3S clutch and a 5S pressure plate
GT Pass side mount.

for the Engine:
I suggest switching out the steering pump line/s that run to the linkage. at least pump to linkage. its a bitch otherwise and not worth it (I know)
you will need the GT(or GT4) reservoir for the steering fluid and the lines as well.
GT coolant lines (at least the radiator lines)
GT radiator.
Accel cable
and all the little gauges you want. mainly boost.
if you keep the water to air intercooler, the front radiator
water pump and lines (there are metal ones)
you will need to make or get the original pump rely.

Generally I think thats about it.

it all depends on what you want to do with it.

good luck and have a blast.

oh if you keep the Original hood and front, you will need to cut some of the hood frame if you keep the water to air intercooler. the hood will cut into the intercooler.
