You have an AT200 if it's a 7A-FE ST model. ST-202 were not sold in the states

[playr158]

you need a motor mount from a GT for the passenger side.
otherwise you should be able to bolt it in

[robertof30]

i have a st202 .... so playr158 u mean the right upper side? what about the other motor mounts?

If you have an ST-202 [Which I doubt] then your motor mounts are already setup for the 3S-GTE 2.0l Turbo engine since you must already have a 3S-GE 2.0l engine in there. However, the info next to your name says you have an ST which is an AT200 1.8l 7A-FE.
Furthermore, your info says NJ which I will take as to mean New Jersey where ST-202's were never imported.
I'm not trying to give you sh*t and personally, if you want to believe you drive an ST-202, it's no skin off my back, however, it does have a huge bearing on your question. Like for example - what Playr stated is true. You will need the GT mount on the PS to complete your swap. You also can not use your tranny, Axles, etc. If you want the answer to your question to be correct we're gonna have to know what you really own.

Here - this may help you understand:

NP man - You'll find I'm not one of those people who's out to flame someone for their mistakes I just want all info here to be as accurate as possible [You are not the first person I've corrected on this - don't want to perpetuate the misconceptions]
So screw that - Here is what you need mount/tranny wise. You'll need mounts from the clip you get plus one GT for the rear of the tranny -IF- you opt to use the more common USDM s54 tranny [Like on mine - altho it IS weaker it can def handle the abuse for a good long time]. If you decide to use the better E153 tranny you will just end up using the mounts from the clip and the axle carrier and part of the axles [I believe - don't quote me] to create the necessary Hybrid drive shafts along with a custom made spacer.
This is just the basics - There are many stickies and threads you should read in FI section of here so as to be properly informed before you go into this swap.

Oh and it's AT200 not ST200 [Sorry to be a stickler]

Edit - Judging by Playr's informed answer it appears that you may still need the PS mount from a GT regardless [I've never gone from ST to GT2 so I wouldn't know - altho I have made a custom mount for the rear of the tranny before]

THANKS A LOT GUYS>>>

[95st-celica]

you need

fuel pump
gt motor mount for the pass side and your aslo going to have to drill a hole so it can bolt down
GT axles (take your st ones to pepboys or autozone as cores and they will never know the difference) also should come with a lifetime warrenty
GT shifter Cables
GT Transmission
wireing harness cut and spliced so its plug and play
i would resurface your flywheel too as i am doing that
and about 5k
Good luck
