Lens cones are probably the hardest to sort out & some of the carriers can be pricey. Most are not. The cones will also require a mounting plate for the lens, most today are 39mm until you get to about a 150mm then some become larger.
In theory you need condensers for 35/66/45. In practice the 45 will work fine.
There is someone on line that specializes in Omega enlarger parts & for the life of me I can't remember who.
Size wise the Omegas are very compact & don't use motors to lift the head. The head is counter balanced with a spring.
The column uses three clamps to hold it to the base board & though cumbersome is not heavy. For safety remove the condensers while you're moving it around.
It's not heavy, just awkward to move.
The D2's are pretty easy to move in a car. Take the condenser can off. Then, take the column off the baseboard by removing the one large knob at the base.

I got my Beseler 45MCRX home in my Honda Civic. The chassis fit in the back seat and the baseboard in the trunk. Of course I used the seat belts to secure the chassis.It's a good idea to take the lenses off too.
You can probably squeeze it into a compact to mid-size sedan if it is one that has fold down rear seats.

The entirety of my Beseler 45 MX with color computer head fit into the trunk of my Oldsmobile (after removing the head and baseboard).
Now that's intriguing... Unfortunately I don't have a graflok back, but I admit I have thought about what it would take to make my camera into an enlarger. Hmm, has anyone here done this?
Nobody knows how ugly and crazy looking the enlarger is when they see the prints...
