Need instructions to combine three upgrades

I have a fully assembled Prusa MK3, an unassembled MMU2 upgrade kit, a MK3 to MK3s upgrade kit, and a MMU2 to MMU2s upgrade kit. I want to assemble, and install all three of the upgrade kit, but, all three kits have parts to upgrade the extruder, idler, and pulley assemblies, and the electronics.

I have instructions to do these three upgrades separately, but I can't find instructions to combine all three upgrades. Does anyone know where I can find instructions to combine all three upgrades, so I know which items I should use and which ones I should leave out, and what order I should put the remaining parts together?

RE: Need instructions to combine three upgrades

Upgrade the printer by itself; get it working to your satisfaction. The new IR filament sensor design has issues; and the new extruder design has issues - make sure you are using the latest extruder parts. 

Once the printer is back together and usable - including an operating filament sensor - then and only then add the MMU/s.  Otherwise - if there is a problem - you will not have a clue what is going wrong with the pair.  Best to have at least one thing in a known working condition before paring them up.

RE: Need instructions to combine three upgrades

when you refer to the "latest extruder parts", are they the ones included in  the "Original Prusa i3 MK3 to MK3S upgrade kit", or are there other ones, I should use? Also, are there any instruction online on how to fix the "new IR filament sensor  issues?

thanks
