It's going to depend on how complete your swap is, but if you're getting a celica redtop, you'll want to get a gen3+ mr2 wateroutlet housing, a gen2 fuel line (which has to be modified a little bit), a 98 or so 1mzfe maf and aftermarket intake tube ($30 on ebay).

All of your mounts can be transferred from your 5sfe. You'll also want to reuse your 5sfe crank pulley (or get a 3sgte pulley). You'll want to use the 5s alternator, A/C, and brackets.

Wiring is the biggest problem. I make a custom pnp harness based off your old 5s harness and your cut or uncut beams harness.

I do the harness for $350+$30 return shipping.

You can convert the FWD transmissions for use in the mr2. It involves drilling a hole for the selector shaft as seen here:

MKI MR2 Write-ups

Not an s54, but the same basic proceedure.
