Default Ready for swap... last minute questions

Okay, got my money for my swap. Got my car stripped of the engine. Got everything in place. My car will be out of commission for I guess about 1-2weeks now.

I'm ready to order my swap from HMotorsOnline.com...

B16A (92-95 SI OBD1) Complete Change Over to go into my 95 DX Coupe. I ordered the swap with the LSD tranny...

I got all the prices figured out for pretty much everything.

Is there ANYTHING AT ALL that I'm gonna need outside of what comes with the swap? Obviously I'm gonna need oil and other miscellanous fluids... but what about tranny fluid? Any bolts that I'm gonna need? ANYTHING AT ALL!

Also, what will this swap do to my air conditioning... I know alot of times this is a problem in swaps, but what will happen with mine? Also, if I last minute decide to get the B18c1, is it a problem with that swap?

I will be turboing this engine in the future, but for right now I'm just gonna run it pretty stock. I want to change some things in the engine while it's out of the car. What can I change to get the engine running really good? Spark plugs, etc. Those little kinds of things that I'm not going to want to replace down the road, and will still work with turbo that won't get replaced when I throw the RevHard kit on there....

THANKS!!!

before the engine gets put in, it'll be easier to change the timing belt, water pump, and get a new clutch and/or flywheel. the timing belt and water pump are the common things done i've seen people do with swaps, probably save a lot of headaches in the long run. if you want to keep a/c, you'll need an a/c bracket from a b16a3 from a del sol or 99-00 b16a2. it shouldn't be a problem, unless when you go turbo it might be too big for a/c depending on type of kit you get.

you can try ebay or this http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/ they have pretty decent prices but only thing is they charge a $5 processing fee and shipping. not too bad if you order over 200 worth of stuff like i did, only charge 1 something for shipping. but try checking with your local honda dealer and compare prices and see which is better.
