I sort of had no choice as I had 5 days to do the swap and have my car running to get me to class and work so I over prepared out of necessity. But in general it will make things go smoother.

For sure. I like to look at the diagrams to see how everything interrelates. My plan for the MAF wiring is set. Got my soldering iron, heat shrink, loom and electrical tape ready. I thought I'd ordered a mini add a fuse, but I haven't yet. Will pick one up tomorrow.

If you had a chance to look at my engine mount youtube vid, I'd appreciate your opinion. You used an OEM one, right? The slightest force moves the bracket up and down. I can only imagine the engine bucking around. I expect that the OEM mount is much more solid. I understand how all mounts triangulate to keep the engine in place, but the movement on this mount seems excessive and it creaks a lot!

Thanks!
