Watch out for those Poly Alt bushing's, they have been nothing but trouble for me, my brothers, my dads and several friends and my friend who owns an indy shop. I can't speak for all of them, but the ones we were using didn't have enough meat on the mtl bolt sleeve so in time the alternater starts shaking again cause the mtl fails. One solution a friend came up with was using a thicker gauge metal tube, seem to work for awhile but went back to shaking. Also, if sticking with the poly bushings, put some lock tight on the bottom bolt above the motor mount, twice the nut backed itself off which could had been due to the sleeve failing. I've gone back to rubber bushings and everything's golden.
From my experiance with swapping drivetrains I'd highly recommend ordering a new power steering bushing. Spend the $5 now and cross that frustration off the list.
When I put my 86 SPG back together a few years ago I was going to do the H.G. but the 86t I was driving at the time was stolen so I passed. Three months after getting it back together the H.G. started seeping but like Aaron said It wasn't bad, only took a few hours. But if time isn't an issue, like having something else to drive, I'd say do it because it is a used motor with 160k on it and you don't know its history.
FWIW my SPG's motor had 165k on it when it started seeping, the 86t that was stolen had 285k on it and original H.G. and is at 310k now.
good luck
