Saturn Vue Engine Replacement

So I had a thrashed 1995 S10 that didn't run, and someone had stolen the driver's seat out of. Somehow, I traded it for a 2002 Saturn Vue, 2.2l, 5 speed, 2wd with 130k KMs. Few problems with it - 1. the engine is blown. 2. the pass window has been smashed out of it with half a plastic bag taped over the hole for the last year, so it's a tad wet inside lol. Im not too worried about that, but my question is will any similar era Ecotec work in this truck? I am guessing that if I get an engine out of say a Cavalier, that I will need to transfer over all the accessory drives and the oil pan from the Saturn, but is there anything else I need to watch out for in a Chev to Saturn swap? Thanks!
