And relays and a books of words to work out the wiring :D

Getting everything lined up on the panel would be my concern, wiring is a doddle if you just take the time to revise your plans and work around unforeseen problems :D

You will need to get it lined up to get the holes drilled in. ! hole for the wipers and another for the washers. You can use double sided trim tape for the rubber bits the wipers rest on. I reckon that will be the trickiest bit

Yes, the panel you'll have to drill through to put the motors in and wiper arms on.
I'd make a template from the car you take them off personally.
