GA to SR20DE Swap Underway!

I am so excited! So yeah I thought I was gonna turbo the GA, but now I got a really good deal on this!

Okay, this morning I picked up a very clean SR20DE engine (complete) for $40 with a spun rod bearing.

All I *THINK* I need is:
Oil Pan- $10
Exhaust manifold- $20
Full Gasket Set- $150
Rod Bearings- $47
Piston Rings- $50
Spark Plugs
Engine Harness- $80
ECU- $50
Guage Cluster- $25
PCV Valve- $10
Oil Filter- $10
Mobil 1 10w30 Synthetic Oil w/ Lucas
Block and Rods hot tanked and cryo treated
Pistons Sugar Coated and hot tanked
Fuel Filter- $10
Spark Plug Wires
O2 Sensor
Motor Mounts-
Prothane Motor Mount Inserts- $80
Passenger Side Axle Carrier Bracker
Transmission- $100
Axles- $50
JGY 6 Puck Clutch- $309
Lightweight Flywheel- $269
Alternator- $40
Starter- $40
Reducers to fit GA16 radiator- $10
Thermoblock Spacers- $121
UR Ultra SS Pulley Kit- $333
Power Steering Pump- $40

What engine mounts do I need? Don't I only need one more, and can reuse the other 3? Am I missing anything?

Can I re-use the GA16DE AC components?

I am going to be rebuilding the engine over the next few weeks, so I can't buy any of this stuff yet but I will as soon as the engine is completely built.

I'm pretty sure that you can't use the AC stuff from your GA16.

Don't worry about an A/C! Just roll down the windows and enjoythe cool summer breeze!

I want AC.... This is a daily driver.

What all off of my GA16DE can I use on the SR20DE?

Okay so I guess I wont be needing AC, nor will I need power steering.... How do I convert from my current power steering to manual steering, and is it alot harder to drive that way?

Also I am looking for opinions on what to do to the engine while I have it apart and I am at the engine machine shop. I plan on boosting to get 300-400whp.
