There are a plethora of things that can be "gotchas" when converting a bus. This site it full of threads about random weirdness that occurs, especially regarding the electrical system.
Best to start by filling out your profile with your bus info...that can (and does) go a long way at getting answers quickly...folks can see generally what manufacturer, engine, etc. For example, I own an International with a DT466E...my knowledge may or may not be as applicable to a 2000 Bluebird with a Cummins 5.6.
Second, go get a copy of the factory service manual for whatever you have. If you have an International, I have most and would be happy to provide you with what I have. If you have something else, cruise over to the mechanical forum and check out the sub-group for you particular manufacturer - the odds are someone can do the same, or point you in the right direction.
Finally, the dealer may have done a once-over before selling, but things can and will go wrong as per Murphy...be prepared for the oddities upfront and don't get frustrated when things go wrong.
Google is your best friend, don't be afraid to ask questions, and most of all...
GOOD LUCK and ENJOY THE RIDE!
