Some that I've learned so far:
1) If you are not using the stock flywheel, make sure that the tranmission's input shaft will fit inside the pilot bearing of the new flywheel!
2) It would be a good idea to spin the intermediate shaft to make sure that the bearing in it is still good. I didn't spin it until it was time to install it. The bearing is focked up.
3) If you're installing brake calipers from a junkyard car, rebuild them before it's time to put them in.
4) Buy new radiator hoses before the swap so that the ratty-*** old ones are not your only option.

Some good news...
1) It's been fun
2) It's been educational
3) The 88-89 D16A1 (1g Integra) fits perfectly in the 1g CRX using stock mounts and stock axles. The swap is cheap, weight penalty is very minimal, and there is lots of potential.

That's all for now. More details can be found by going to my site (listed in my sig).
