Are you sure you have a Series 3 in it? Series 3 didn't come around until after 2005.

Ok, you have the L26 engine, and your donor is the L36. Transfer over anything external from the old engine, to the new engine. This includes ALL sensors.
On a side note, you are playing with Pandora'* Box with an old 96 engine.
