I think in our msgs I forgot to mention steering if you consider that an amenity. 
I'm really stumped at what steering solution you will use as it will likely need to be a mock up solution like Thumper's build with the LS swap. I think your biggest hurdles are going to be at what rate you guys can problem solve and devise machining solutions with reasonable turn around time. IE- motor mounts, tranny mount, drive shaft, shifter, radiator mount, etc., etc. And that's only the "physical fit" aspect of the build.
Are you going built auto, r154 or v160?

And yes, I would like to keep this luxury

Its really going to come down to what you want to get out of the car and keep....Like someone said, if its a weekend/show car I'd be less concerned with keeping anything luxury related. Any gear head can get that motor in and running...its going to be at what cost on your current electronic platform. The hardware will take time but only because you will be at the mercy of a machinist or similar.

^^What will your choice of engine management be on this project?
I think you need to nail down the "luxury" features you mandatorily have to have...and from there you can work around that. With such an "extreme" swap, obviously getting those small details to work will be difficult at the very least. Honestly though, if it was my "weekend only" car, I could care less for all those small details to work...as I'd be fully involved with enjoying the sound of my open WG dump or my turbo spooling.

My buddy who will be doing this I believe wants to go with single turbo, auto tranny and stock ecu to push it right around 500whp. I'm a total noob with the 2jz, but I love what they're capable of, so he's the master mind behind it all.
As far as luxuries, nothing is a MUST. I would LIKE a/c and the radio and that's pretty much my wish list aside from the performance and mechanicals of a functioning and drivable car.
Youre an engineer; anything CAN be done!

Get in touch with the only guy in the US that is known to have successfully done this. Most answers you'd find from the vast majority here I'd consider hear-say.
Here's a link the "THE-IS" 's thread on my.is who did the swap, i dont think he ever registered or posted on club lexus about the swap.
