Here are some answers.
The swap probably isn't too difficult.
You would want to keep your 5S tranny. The 3S mates up to it. Since you are using the 5S trans, that takes care of 3 out of the four motor mounts. You may need a custom driver's side mount, but I doubt it. The 3S mount will more then likely mount up. The 5S is physically taller than the 3S, so I am sure it will fit right in there. You would need the ecu from the 3S, and the 3S engine harness. Then you would need a wiring diagram for the camry's body harness. You would need to convert the 3rd plug on the ecu by splicing the right wires together. and presto! You have a 3S now.

there is no reason why this swap should cost 3-5, more like 2-3 depending on deals you pull on the parts and how fast and pretty you want it in the end.
