Help with first fixie build...

Actually its more of a parts swap, but nonetheless it will be my first time doing this. Right now I have an IRO Mark V complete. I really enjoy the ride but I havent been able to convince myself on the aesthetics of the bike. I really like the converted 80's road bike look better then this newer style type bike. So I went onto Ebay and for $20 bough this frame...



I figure hey...its $20, if it doesnt work no biggie. What I want to do is take my Mark V wheelset, and put it onto this frame. I want to keep the cranks and pedals but the seatpost, saddle, chainring, bars, etc.. will all be new parts. My question is should something like this be difficult? Would I be able use my IRO bottom bracket and put it on this frame if its the same size? Basically Im just looking for a heads up on things I should look out for before trying this swap. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!
