UPDATE!~

Engine is installed and all of the wiring re-attached. Interior is mostly reinstalled and looks great... What a job!

I have run into two issues thus far:

1. I am getting a static drip from the firewall connectors for the heater core, apparently the bane of this cars existance! Anybody know the correct O-ring/ backup washer stacking? I tried to replicate what was there but I'm not positive it is correct. Yes, its all new stuff...

2. Where does the small vacuum ( I guess) line that comes off of the end (belt side) of the 1997 intake manifold go? It is the only part that seems to be without a home at this point....

Other than that, it has been a fun albeit, long and labor intensive job. Ended up adding new suspension and wheel bearings to the list, as well as a host of other parts along the way... so far expensive but fun. Hope to turn the keys soon, maybe this weekend!
