you also need a d16y8 manifold that matches the obd of the head (obd2a vs obd2b) also the intake and exhaust mani gaskets, get a two pin iacv and also a d16y8 throttle body. Make sure to do the two step iacv fix. Wire the knock sensor with oem shielded grounded wire, and also put a resistor for the fuel tank pressure sensor or else a code 91 will happen. Good luck.

WERD.

Replacing the water pump is for preventative maintanence reasons only. You're going to have the engine apart, so why not put in a new pump and while you're in there, a new tensioner pulley as well.
