Question Opti swap tomorrow

Okay, tomorrow is the day of reckoning with this p.o.s. A buddy and I are doing the opti swap. Mine has taken a crap '' so says the dealership" so i have a few questions...

1. i have a complete new opti from Mr.Cromer, do i need any other parts? I have a 95z and i believe its a vented opti.

2.I just did a waterpump swap 2 weeks ago, do i need to get new water pump gaskets or do you think the ones that are only 2 weeks old will be okay?

3. Other then the following list of parts .. is there anything else i should consider getting/doing... new opti, new coolant, possibly new waterpump gaskets

and finally, while i have all this crap taken apart and off is there anything else that should be changed while im down there?

thanks guys. I know its late but anyone that can help , would be greatly appreciated.

I would get the new waterpump gaskets, there cheap and you know they wont leak, I mean hope they dont leak.

While your down there and take the air pump off, leave it off.

Make the engine bay a lot cleaner looking and takes 5 or so pounds off the front end.

I left mine off just because it was already off.(you have to take it off to do the opti)
