Hey, I did the exact swap.. But my 2.2 was a 97.. You need the following.

2.4 engine(duh)
Engine mount lower cradle
transmission
transmission mount
2.4 upper and lower radiator hoses
96-99 wiring harness.
Passenger side axle, you can use your drivers side axle from your 2.2
Guage cluster that has a Tach on it

I may of missed something.. but not sure.

Well, you dont HAVE to have a tach, but why not want one since your getting a 2.4 engine?

uh idk if there is or not, but id search about it. there shouldnt be much to it. again like i said im in the process of doing this i have not done it yet. but everythings just take out the old stuff, and replace it with other stuff. all the 2.4 stuff should go into the engine bay just like it would have came out
