Hi Ralph,
FeynArts and FeynCalc are two different projects developed by different
people, so there is no 100% comptability between the two. For practical
purposes one always needs to convert the FeynArts output into something
FeynCalc can work with.
Have a look at the examples, for more details
https://github.com/FeynCalc/feyncalc/tree/master/FeynCalc/fcexamples/QED
Since you are using FeynCalc 8.2, you don't need to apply to
FCPrepareFAAmp and specify Transversality->True in PolarizationVector.
Those are things that came with FeynCalc 9 that is still under devlopment.
Also, have a look at the corresponding wiki page:
https://github.com/FeynCalc/feyncalc/wiki/FeynArts#fatofc
Cheers,
Vladyslav
