A 3.2 will destroy an AR25 auto box in short order, so be sure to change that as well. Will need the torque converter from the 3.2 as well. Diff ratio will also be wrong. Might as well just buy a 3.2 IMHO.

Where is the oil leak from, any ideas ?. It might be an easier fix than swapping an engine plus all the extra work.

Mine had a leak from the camshaft oil seals, making oil pour down the front of the engine. It was not difficult to change them, I was doing a cambelt change at the same time, so fairly easy.
