Ah, so it's not really a MAP sensor because it's not going on the manifold -- just a miscellaneous AP sensor. 
As for what can be skipped:
Install block vent -- sounds optional to me.
Oil temp sensor, oil cooler are unlikely to be necessary for a track day in April.
You can skip EBC and run wastegate pressure for the first track day on the new motor.
Rad ducting probably also skippable, I mean, it's gonna be 65 degrees there, right?
Brake ducting less necessary if you run mech WG, because less power.
Grease bushings a good idea, but *required*? Diff reseal also optional.
A bunch of the stuff at the end I can't read. "Install none of it wga" ? "Install **** ring"?

Its a hole in the block tapped for 1/2" NPT. It either needs the hose connected, or a plug

True, but much easier to install when the motor is out/not ready.

I will be going to the dyno before the track day. And probably will be pushing to see what I can make, EBC is another short job that wont take a ton of time
Rad ducting probably also skippable, I mean, it's gonna be 65 degrees there, right?
Probably right. It might even be snowing.

I have the ducts already installed. Just need to remount them with the new intercooler piping.
Grease bushings a good idea, but *required*? Diff reseal also optional.
Grease bushings is a 15 minute job while the car is up in the air. Might as well do it now. Diff reseal is optional, but another "While the driveshaft is out, why not"

Noneofit wastegate is threaded rod that will hold the wastegate open for break in. Catch can. Easy to mount, can make lines for it quickly.

I may have a few of them at work from Nial's build. Let me check and I'll send you the sizes in case they work. But they're $100 from MR if you haven't found that deal yet...

I actually just posted a question about them lol. In the engine prep section.

I saw the MMR deal, need to check with my usual supplier and see what they can do

@curly: The lash caps or the SUBs? Because I'd love to know where you are seeing SUBs for $100
https://miataroadster.com/mazdaspeed.../i-407708.aspx MR has them listed for $200
