My piece of advise Do it all once if you can. Take the body off and do the engine conversion and suspension.
Reallocating the fuel tank with rear coilver suspnsion is great thats what i did but there are many many challenges and not simple.

Dont use the same factory fuel lines. Use standard heavy duty steel braided fuel lines easy to use and flex.
I've been watching your build on jko and I can't wait till yours is finished, half wishing I went the same way for easier engine mods. Taking the body off would've been nice, but I don't have the room and the axles are goin to be 10 weeks away at the best. Its just too much time off the road.
That's sort of why I have held off with suspension for now, I would like to outboad the coilovers but will have to wait till the axles are here, I don't trust my measurements I till I can see all the parts in front my me. The suspension is going to be a big challenge for me.
Fuel lines from engine to tank I am swapping out for braided lines and when I do the tank relocate I'll finish off the rest of the lines

The Burnsville kit makes it alot easier, if you can spin bolts you'll be fine. Its more like a big game of memory that makes it hard
