I am looking to purchase a 3sgte and have my uncle swap it within a week,He says he can do it and is a certified Toyota Mechanic...So,I am gonna let him tackle it.

The 3rd gen's wiring is just as hard. Sure the interior plugs are basically the same but you must remember that the 3rd gen was originally in a RHD vehicle while we drive LHD. The harness has to be extended or shortened in certain areas to make everything fit. Plus Japanese vehicles have less emission standards. I know when my dad and I did a KL-ZE swap into our 96 Mazda 626, some of sensors were different and the wriring for them was different. All of the 3SGTE swaps are difficult but out of the 3 (actually 4 if you consider the 3sgte from the new Curren as it has more power than the 3rd gen although I don't think anyone's tried it as of yet) the 2nd gen is the easiest since the availability of parts is greater.
