Default B-series swap last check list

I am finishing up a b-series swap in a 1996 Civic hatch tomorrow and I was going over my list of things to make sure are done before cranking...

Help me out honda-tech to amke sure I am not forgeting anything!

P.S. this is not in any specific order.

-Coolant hoses and clamps
-Vacuum lines
-fuel line
-put intake on
-install header with o2 sensor
-tranny fluid, oil, and coolant
-clutch line install and bleed
-Tighten down a/c compressor bolts
-throw battery back in
-install belts (not sure why I didn't do this while the motor was out) LOL

Hopefully once it is up and running I can shoot some pictures and post them up.


Motor-

96-97 Spec ITR motor w/ LSD tranny
Innovative billet mounts
new clutch (daiken street disc and pressure plate)
Hytec Rep. header
HKS hiPower Exhaust
PWJDM Power chamber intake
New axles
ITR shift linkage w/ urethane bushings and Buddy Club shifter
Very MILD wire tuck/managment job
Slim fans
New radiator (replace the one I broke like a jack ***)

Car-

1996 Honda Civic Hatchback
CTR rep. spoiler
CTR rep. lip
Bronze wheels
KYB GR2's w/ Tien s-tech springs

I am building this car for a friend, I am not a huge fan of some little things, but I am overall happy with the outcome of the build so far. Plus we retained a/c and that excites me. It used to be the cool thing to ****** all that crap out, but times have changed!!!

Pics to come

The motor is bolted in the car. I have already swapped the post, changed clutch, rear tranny bracket, and performed all ECU pin outs.

I just wanted to see what I may have missed. These are the kind of responses I was looking for. I kind of left out details on how far I was in the process so I could basically say "yes or no" when some body made a suggestion!

Thanks so far guys and keep it coming.
