Default XR6 ECU in a standard AU

hi all i'm putting an XR6 non VCT ECU into my SR ( I already have the 3.45 diff) and have some questions
1. do you just leave the power econemy switch wires open circuit for the adaptive shift to work?
2. when you replace the ECU and go through the learning stage ( i know it takes up to an hour ) to get the ECU & BEM to talk to each other will the BEM remember all the keys or will have to pay ford to re program the other key?
3 is it true if I add an R6 cam (HO engine ) that is all that is required to get it up to HO engine standards?
4 does anyone have a HO camshaft they don't want for a reasonable cost
4 i know this doesn't really belong here but i have a set of alteza headlights (silver)for sale used but in reasonable condition with no leaks i replaced mine for black ones make an offer

I think GlennBA (used to AUII) found out the fuel reg is different .. and this needed changing as well ... can't help you with the rest though unfortunately.

Not sure if the fuel rail is different either .. it might be altogether in one though with the regulator ... AFAIK the injectors are the same though

I notice you have an SR falcon, you need to make sure both PCMs are smartshield, then you need someone to do a parameter reset to get it to run.

the ECU I intend to fit is smartshield and from the workshop manual all i have to do is with all accessories off leave the ignition on till the smartsheild light stops flashing which can take up to 61 minutes the locks will cycle twice switch off for 30 seconds till the the smartsheild light flashes then it should have re learnt but i'm unsure if after this process if all my keys will work or will ford have to program my other keys?

What publication states that you can replace a smartshield PCM using this method? Are you able to scan it and email to me?

I wasn't thinking it was smartlock because you don't need to do anything when replacing a smartlock enabled PCM, it's just that nothing is mentioned of this by Ford in any training notes and workshop manual.
