I don't think you should keep anything from the V6. (Don't throw anything till its done though)
If you get a LA 360 complete from 60's-90 then it will have the electronics with it, the only external pieces will be coil maybe some ignition module voltage regulator.
It would be best to pull the engine from a complete truck, find someone who is parting it out. This way you can pull everything yourself so you will know it is all there and no cut wires. www.craigslist.org always has some deals.
