You wont need suspension but since the V6''s have lighter front springs it would not hurt to replace them. My 305 Rs had V6 springs since the 305 was an option and the V6 was standard. You will also need a V8 bell house for the V8 swap. If you do a search you will find this topic many times in here and may get more answers than you need.

Like I said my RS had V6 springs and the optional 305 V8 in it. Also had 180,000 miles so they were very fatigued. They are lighter springs but they still worked.

Just take all the wires that are connected to the computer and throw them away. The other wires, which would go to the firewall bulkhead connector, you will need to reuse.
