If he has the spazda crappy 5spod he will need every bit of the 4.56's gear, that tranny's gearing is crap (we have a 92 with the 5/5.0L and 4.10's on 31's and its a PITA to drive around the farm in 1st gear, a lot of the time i kick it into 4lo to get around better), and with the extra gear getting around will be oh so nice.

Mines a auto but still pretty slow. I'm mostly trying to correct my shifting and gas mileage.

For the carrier definitely look around at scrappers. If you can find a pre-'80 truck 4.10's also pretty common. I bought a set of 4.10's with the carrier for $30. If I was looking to go 4.56's I know I could sell off the 4.10's for $30 and then the carrier itself was free.
