IAT is most definitely used. It is one of the most integral sensors when it comes to PGMFI.
Also, your ECU will need to "see" the VTEC oil pressure switch unless you have it disabled in your P28. Only your tuner can tell you that.

Also, im removing power steering
Ive already removed the pump,bracket and reservoir but stumped on how to take off the high pressure line and hard lines
I can see the two hardlines that i need to take off and loop but thats pretty much it
Any tips?

That's pretty much it. Try Googling, it's been covered a billion times.
My tip would be to pull the rack and disassemble it. Remove the middle hydraulic seal, reassemble with new external seals, fill it with gear oil, and plug the lines. Should work like a manual rack then.
If you loop it, you're still constantly pushing fluid back and forth between the two sides every time you turn the wheel, but that is the way most people do it.
Looks better my way too, but it's a significantly more advance process.

I know I'll get flamed for this, but I did search.
I'm in the process of tucking my eg coupe. I've got a build thread in the appearance build thread section if you want to check it out so you can see what I'm having difficulty with.
The part numbers for the firewall plugs are not working for my car. Only the ac plug and the cruise control plug fit. I ordered:
91610-SF4-003 - Too big for the passenger engine harness hole.
91631-SR3-000 - Worked fine.
90621-SE0-000 - Too small for driver side engine harness hole.
And before someone asks, yes I tried to use the passenger side on the driver side and vice versa. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah looks like O2. I can't think of what else has the four pin shell, at least off the top of my head.

Cool beans, one less thing to worry about
Question about battery relocation, is anyone here using a sealed box to place it in the trunk? If so, any specific box works best?

If you use a sealed battery you don't really need a vented box. They still can outgas a little but they don't release the acid mist like old batteries did.
This is an old pic, but I ran my PC-680 mounted to the base plate from and old battery box... you can use any old thick Al plate to create a similar flat surface to mount it.
The fail in that setup was that there should have been a fuse or a breaker on the positive side immediately after the battery. That will be fixed next time around.

I thought I saw that car up for sale a while ago. Maybe you were just unloading some parts. Glad you still have it though, it's been fun watching it grow into a monster!
