I've never swapped a 1995 or newer, but I've done a 1994. Axles need to be changed on a Metro, they're different lengths. I think you can leave the computers alone. You'll have to make the hole for the clutch cable. On my '94, the clutch cable hole was cut into the inner layer of the firewall. Auto/manual engine mounts are a little different on a '94 and older, I'm not sure about the newer cars. Having the donor car right next to the car being swapped was very helpful for me.
