Default Prep Work (H22 to EK Hatch)

Im getting ready to finally swap my h22 into my 97 hatch, and I just want to make sure I have everything I need before i start, Id like to run into as less problems as possible.

Currently Owning:
- Avid Mounts
- Skunk2 IM
- Golden Eagle Fuel Rail
- OEM Honda Headgasket
- OEM Honda IM Gasket
- OEM Honda TB Gasket
- OEM Honda EM Gasket
- OEM Honda Waterpump
- New Radiator
- Slim Fan
- Mugen 4-2-1 Exhaust w/ flex pipe
- AEM Pulleys
- DSS Stage 0 Axles
- Hondata S200
- BDL Cam Gears
- ACL Complete Bearing kit

Waiting to buy:
- FPR


Again, just making sure I have everything covered.. This is going to be my first swap, and I want this to go as smooth (with the least waiting for parts, etc..) as possible.

If im missing anything, or recommend something LMK!!!

Conversion Harness? Altanator belt?... cuz you need a shorter one. you are also gonna need a longer fuel line. and you are going to have to make your clutch line longer somehow. Oh and if I were you I would go with Honda bearings. Oh and the pain in the *** wireing harness thats all i can think of for now

The h22 has an auto tensioner on it, which more times then not (i know it has happened to a lot of people) the tensioner fails, lets the timing belt slip off and there goes your block, trust me its not much money to switch from auto to manual tensioner and you gurentee it wont cost you your block....

Now for a fuel line you have to options, you can either pay someone to have a custom one made, or use a f series fuel rail, which is identical to the h22 fuel rail but the line hooks to the left side or the rail not the right, so you can use your stock fuel line in your car, i just used the f series fuel rail on my h2b swap, and i have an extra for sale, you can pm me if your interested.
