Default H22a1 to h22a swap?

Hey guys... Well my h22a1 auto tensioner just gave out and I fear I may have bent some valves. I was planning on swapping it out anyways because it was at 295k miles and it's served it's purpose for 5 years. I'm going to get a jdm h22a and I was wondering what exactly I need to swap over from my h22a1 in order to "plug and play". From what I've read it seems I only need to swap the distributor, external coil, and fuel rail+injectors? Any info you guys could pass along would be helpful. I'll be putting on a new timing belt with a KS tensioner and oem water pump as well for reliability. Thanks in advance

I would just swap everything bolt on over to make it easy as can be: Intake manifold, distributor, and all of your accessories/brackets.

Swap everything / only keep the block of the new motor. There's a chance that your intake manifold will not be the same - also the alternator and ps brackets may be too bulky.

OK sounds good... I will have both motors side by side and will be able to compare and contrast.
