Re: 1mz or 3vz
I've not done a 1mz myself but most of it is the same (or the same principles at least). The only thing that really differs is the immobiliser bit. You need the key, ignition ring, wiring connectors and the 'gold block'. Full list of parts is here...

Re: 1mz or 3vz
All to do with the immobiliser transponder thingy. It's right next to the ECU if I remember correctly. Yes - it is pretty obvious. The two connectors you need with it are the one that plugs into this gold block (obviously) and the one that connects to the key transponder ring on the ignition barrel.

Re: 1mz or 3vz
Exactly as you say - a bolt pattern mod. If I remember correctly, V6's use an 12mm thread vs the 3S 10mm plus the bolt pattern on the V6's is marginally larger. I have in-house machining at work which makes it easy but I give my machinist the 3S flywheel with one of the spacers either side of the torque converter gear-wheel and get him to 'egg' the hole to match up.
Don't forget to order your mk1 flywheel bolts
