I'm not 100% on the oil pan, but I think I remember reading that most SAS's with this engine were using the stock Supra "mid-sump" oil pan.  I don't see that either oil pan would really present a problem, but you can kinda get an idea and figure it out from this pic - keep in mind the IFS steering linkage is parallel to the ground, while a SAS will angle down to the passenger side with crossover steering


Yeah, not much room between the brake booster and the intake manifold (bottom of pic).  I dented my booster in just a little bit to give some clearance.  Your only other option is to ditch the booster and build your own pedal linkage to give the mechanical leverage necessary to go with a manual (non-power assist) brake set-up - probably not advisable on a DD.  There's enough room in front of the engine so you shouldn't have to shift it back, it might just take a bit of trimming to fit your radiator of choice
