That depends on the mechanic. Make sure that if you take it to a shop, they know how to do Toyota engine swaps and engine wiring and stuff. Lots of shops can do Honda/Acura swaps without problems, but when it comes to a Toyota they might have trouble. My mechanic swapped a F22 to a H22 overnight, but my swap took over six months. Oh, and I wouldn't think that a swapping a 3S-GTE into a Celica will make it undrivable on a daily basis. Unless you do some crazy engine modifications such as a 6 lb. racing flywheel or some seriously upgraded camshafts, you'll probably be fine. Lots of old ladies even drive cars with 3S-GTEs in them.  I have a swap too, and although it's not the 3S-GTE, I know that my car is still my daily driver. You wouldn't get into the car and think it's stock due to the solid motor mount and lightweight flywheel, but it's still daily-drivable.
